Google+ Photos Get the Pinterest Touch

Continuing its revamp of the Google+ social network that began in March, Google announced on Wednesday the addition of 41 new features and a redesign of the service, which it claims has 190 million active users.

The changes focus on three areas -- the Google+ stream, photos, and the Hangouts feature.

Among other things, Google+ will automatically add hashtags to posts, identify and rank related conversations across the network, serve up the hashtags for that content, and let users browser related content inline by clicking on the hashtags.

In a related development, Google has launched cross-platform single sign-on for developers. Users who log onto an app in one device will be able to get to the same location in that app on another device without having to log on again.  FULL ARTICLE AT TECHNEWSWORLD
