Google+ Enters Open Beta

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday September 20, 2011 @05:55AM from the google-hangouts-replace-real-hangouts dept.

First time accepted submitter morgosmaci sends us a Google Blog post about the transitioning of Google+ from a closed "field trial" to an open beta. As part of the update, Google threw in a number of enhancements to the Hangouts feature: an Android client, named hangouts, integration with Google Docs, and a preliminary web service API. And you can finally search for users, posts, and other content.

When you install the Google+ app on your phone the default is checked to upload EVERY photo you take with that phone in case you might need it later. You have to uncheck that if you only want to upload the photos you want to upload. And yes, your profile is open for the world to google it if you don't opt out, that's going to be a major backlash soon when people find out about that.
