Google+ for iOS gets photo editing, filters in update
Google on Monday rolled out an update for the iOS version of its Google+ social networking app, introducing basic photo editing and Instagram-like filters, as well as a few other additions.
The new version of Google+ for iOS brings the sort of "retro" filters popularized by competing social networking apps like Instagram. Users can also rotate and crop their photos before sharing them to their Google+ accounts.
The improved photo editing options are likely an outgrowth of Google's acquisition of Snapseed, an image editing application with iterations across both PC and mobile platforms.
The update also brings a new profile design, notifications tray, and the ability to control the volume of posts displayed in a user's stream from individual circles and communities. Users can also filter search results by the most relevant or most recent and send friends invitations to communities.
Version 4.3.0 of Google+ for iOS is available as a free download in the App Store. The 28.6MB download is compatible with iPhones, iPads, and iPods running iOS 5.1 or later.

The comments for this are as dead as Google+ is.
They're being reported as #2 in active users behind Facebook now: http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonykosner/2013/01/26/watch-out-facebook-with-google-at-2-and-youtube-at-3-google-inc-could-catch-up/
I don't have much friends on Google+, but I do use it to follow some companies and organizations that I'm interested in, so I guess I can kinda believe those numbers.
However, what's the bloody use of making a google-Instagram-clone? There's already Instagram being Instagram right?
Or am I missing the point?

I think the big message to take from that is that Google+ has more active users than twitter, and no one is complaining that twitter is a ghost Town.
Nobody is happy about Google reader. The verge had a article on alternatives, check it out if you're looking for a replacement: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CDEQqQIwAA&url=http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/19/4119006/the-best-google-reader-alternatives&ei=265QUcjVM8yuigL5koDICg&usg=AFQjCNHdoZ25NZqoAGNIy1EPj3beLR4fOg&sig2=-NWQDCl273ifZU1XQyoQHg
Double post; ignore
Another useless google service that I would not use simply because you are there product. They have been caught so many times circumventing privacy settings for individual users to get there advertising data base to sell you as a commodity that I would not have anything to do with the "do no evil" Two faced company they are.
