The New Google+ Photo Editor

The New Google+ Photo Editor | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Google+ had a photo editor that used Flash, worked in any desktop browser and it was powered by Picnik. Google changed this and switched to a new photo editor that's based on the Snapseed mobile app, but the new version doesn't use HTML5. It's a Native Client app.

That's the reason why the new photo editor only works in Chrome. No other major browser supports Native Client and it's likely that won't change in the near future. This is probably the first feature of a Google web app that uses Native Client and I have the feeling that many others will follow...

Blogger Buzz: Automatically share your blog posts to Google+ | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

Notifying your followers that you've published a new blog post not only gets the conversation going, it encourages them to reshare your content with others. In this way it's critical for growing your blog's audience and engagement. But it takes time. And we want to give you that time back.

Starting today you can automatically share your blog posts publicly to Google+ — as soon as you publish them, with no additional clicks. And of course: if you've enabled Google+ Comments, any replies on Google+ will also appear on your blog.

Google+ and SEO tips & tutorials in pocket size:

 

Drive slides with links to great content!

 

There is no planned route for our drive. You get to choose which way to turn and how to get wherever you want to go. Each word is linked to a slide that I feel best encapsulates it containing content based around that subject. 

The content creators are all listed by name on the slide. Drive has a new feature where if you highlight text and click the link button it will actually search for the most relevant link. I let +Google Drive  decide what link should be chosen and if none, I put their G+ profile.

UPDATED: GooglePlus Helper: Who sees your Google+ post? | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

I posted about 'Who sees your post?' and the feedback from both Google and my Circleverse was great!

Let's look closely at the whole posting on Google+ and how the posts are distributed.

I do a lot of testing on Google+ and because my approach sometimes is a bit unorthodox, I call it "The Dumb Blonde Testing".  Trying to clear things up so that even I can easily understand the results, being a non-techie.
:-)  #JaanaResearch is the hash I use for these.

GooglePlus Helper: How to use Hashtags on Google+

GooglePlus Helper: How to use Hashtags on Google+ | GooglePlus Expertise | Scoop.it

The hashtags used on Google+ work in two ways:

You can click on them (when blue) and they will take you straight to the search, showing posts with the hashtag in question. People who search for a certain topic can do so with or without the # and a keyword: You get slightly different results with either method, I've noticed.

Using hashes is a good way to get your posts noticed by the public in search, not just in photo themes but on any topic, works also in Communities.
