Google+ launches its newest feature called "Ripples"

Google social network the G+ has recently introduced its latest added feature called "Ripples". This will show users how their status updates are shared, how they spread and the statistics of every user activities they have in their account like how many users share their post in an hour. You can watch the video above to understand how this new Google+ feature works and how it can help users better understand how each post spread and shared.



 As what you have seen in the video, the ripple can be found in the top right of any update and on the drop down menu, choose “View Ripples,” which enable you to see the pace of sharing of your post through two chart options, the top users who contributed a lot in sharing your post and post sharing path.

The only downside in launching this feature is the G+ steams being polluted with hundreds of “let see how far this Ripple can go!”updates. Aside from that, this is indeed a useful tool that helps users monitor their own activity and expected to be later as one of the most popular features of Google+.

Way to track people who remove you from their circles


Business people using social networks for business marketing believe that every lost connection is a lost business opportunity for them. That’s why some find it important to know if who “unfriend” (Facebook way to remove friends) and “remove from circles” (Google way to remove friends). Others say that tracking those who disconnected you is just a waste of time and useless at all.

Kynetx recently introduced a browser extension that enables users to know those who have removed them from their Google+ Circles; it is free and works in almost all browsers, including Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. This is simple to install extension that shows pop-up notification if someone has removed you from plus circles. 

Why some are hesitant to install this application?

Some of the users are hesitant to use the GoogleMinus due to the questionable permissions required in installing this application. As shown below you can see information required in order to download this.



In an article written by Nicholas Greene, he said ““Um… yeah, warning bells are screaming in my head right now. Why the blue bloody hell would an extension that simply accesses the javascript of Google + need to know all of that? And how is pretty much all your personal data on Chrome not ‘personally identifiable information’?”

Because of the privacy settings issue, some users chose not to add this extension, but others believe that they can keep as many contacts as possible through this GoogleMinus extension.
