There was big news at the Google I/O 13 this week – much of which was concerning Google+. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, if you are ignoring Google+ in hopes it will go away you should stop that now. Google announced 41 changes to the platform – below are just a few. Expect more to come from Google as they continue to push Google+ and all it has to offer.
