I call mine my "Macbook-C"  Seriously awesome hardware.

Originally shared by Google Chrome

Introducing the HP Chromebook 11, designed and built in partnership with our friends at HP. It has all the speed, simplicity and security benefits you've come to expect from a Chromebook, with unique design elements that makes it easier to get stuff done. And all for $279. 

Look for it starting today in the US at Best Buy , Amazon.com and Google Play and in the UK at Currys, PC World and more. It will also be coming to other countries in time for the holidays.

Hi, we are having problems on our Google page 1+ dropped from almost 12.000 to 720 and it's stuck. Our followers are complaining on me because of that lol. Can you help me? I can't see if it is a temporary common issue. Thanks in advance. Cheers!

Been enjoying sludge-free french press coffee ever since we replaced our old Bodum press with the new Espro press.  It uses double gold filters to make a truly smooth brew.  Highly recommended.

Greetings Googlers & Gophers!

The U of MN Engineering meetup was great fun.  It was nice to meet other Alumni and learn more about the great things going on back in Minnesota.

Googlers - I don't have all of your non-work accounts here, please feel free to follow me and I'll tag/mention your accounts here.

Gophers - If you ever need help with Google+ you can feel free to contact me.

While the activity log at https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/from/i9 is nice for keeping track of posts you +1'd it contained too little information to be really useful, so I whipped up a chrome extension that rectifies this "issue" by fetching profile picture and a small text snippet for each of the posts via the Google+ API. This only works for public posts but from my experiments it seems that only public posts ever get added to the activities anyway. The extension still needs a bit of testing and clean-up, but I'll open-source it soon :)

PS. I've all sent feedback that this should be the default behaviour without the need for extra scripts :)

PPS. Source now available you want to give it a try - https://github.com/Scarygami/gplus-experiments/tree/master/better%20%2B1%20log

I got an email from the Google + platform team saying that there was a problem with our implementation. The email however didn't contain any specifics, just some links to common issues. I've spotted 2 small things that might be the issue. Thing is I do not want to address what might be an issue only to have it turn out that I missed something for fixed something that wasn't broken.

So the question is where do I go / who do I talk to to get specifics?

#gplus

A case where this side up really mattered...

Great new feature that makes it easier for people to follow your Google+ page from your newsletters and notifications.

In the past you had to add and verify all your sender email addresses (which were often [email protected]). Now the email hostname just needs to match your verified website, which is much easier.

Customers can now follow you directly from Gmail

Posted by Saurabh Sharma and David Nachum:

Today we're expanding the Gmail people widget to include brands and businesses (http://goo.gl/wx2mI), making it easier for your customers to connect with you on Google+. This way, when people receive emails from your domain, they can follow your Google+ page directly from their inbox! Your recent Google+ posts can also appear in the widget (alongside your email message), helping customers find and engage with your content.

To appear in the new Gmail widget, all your business or organization needs is a verified Google+ page and digitally-signed emails. Check out this page to learn more: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3190197
