Google+ (Google Plus) Officially Open to the Public!
Earlier today Google announced that Google+ is now officially open to the public. In the official announcement, Vic Gundotra (Senior VP of Engineering) stated:
Anyone can sign up for Google+ — no invitation required.
For the past 12 weeks we’ve been in field trial, and during that time we’ve listened and learned a great deal. We’re nowhere near done, but with the improvements we’ve made so far we’re ready to move from field trial to beta, and introduce our 100th feature: open signups. This way anyone can visit google.com/+, join the project and connect with the people they care about.
- Vic Gundotra (Senior Vice President of Social Business, Google)
There were also 9 new Google+ features announced, including search in Google+ and several additions to Hangouts. Now that Google+ is open to everyone, go signup and check out these new features first hand. Enjoy!
