Google’s social network, Google+, just celebrated its one-year birthday. The service now boasts 150 million active users, with 50 percent signing in daily, according to Google’s latest figures. And active Google+ users are spending more than 12 minutes a day in the stream, up 9 minutes a day from a few months ago. More of those minutes are coming from mobile users than web users, so it makes sense that Google would optimize that stream, especially for tablet owners.
Google+ for tablets features a redesigned UI. The app is image-heavy, like before, but now it takes on an almost Windows 8-like feel with post images of two different sizes. If Google detects a story is picking up momentum in terms of +1′s and comments, it will be shown as a larger image rather than a small one. In landscape, the app scrolls sideways; in portrait, it flicks vertically.
You can change what stream you’re viewing by tapping a drop-down menu at the top left of the app. You can share a thought or photo, or your location by clicking in the upper right of the app, which also houses an icon you can click to refresh your stream.
As you’re flicking to see older Google+ posts, the rectangular posts fly into view individually, slotting into place as an informational mosaic.
