Google+ Lite Chrome Web Store

I searched Google+ on the Chrome Web Store, and this is something I've found. Apparently, it's a lite version of Google+.
What it really does, is it loads a mobile version of Google+, you still can't register, so it's quite pointless. It asks you to log-in with your Google account, I assume it's safe because it's part of google.com.

Google+ Photo Zoom Extension For Chrome

One interesting application is the Google+ Photo Zoom extension for the Chrome browser. It basically enables larger image previews on Google+ streams.

Images are posted in fixed size to Google+ streams. Users need to click on the images to open the photo browser to see a larger version of the image in the browser.

That’s not super handy if you like to view images in their original resolution and not as detail reduced thumbnails.

Photo Zoom enables zooming on mouse over. All you need to do is move your mouse cursor over an image in a stream to get a larger version of it in an overlay.

The overlay image is aligned to the right side of the Chrome browser. Its actual size depends on the browser window. Images that are large enough will for instance grow larger dynamically when you move the mouse cursor from the posted image’s right side to the left.

The example screenshot above is a rather bad example because of identical sizes. It demonstrates the functionality nicely on the other hand. Just hover your mouse over the left image to see a larger version of the image popup (if available).

Photo Zoom comes with four options. One to enable or disable the functionality, and three that define the type of pictures that the extension will work with. Available are profile icons, pictures from Picasa and external pictures.

Google+ Nick

Q: I want to share my Google+ profile with friends and clients by including a link in my email signature, but the current extension is a long string of random numbers. Is there any way to shorten this URL or personalize it?

A: The long string of numbers at the end of my profile make it difficult to share it with anybody.
Google has said that it will allow vanity URLs for Google+, the new social sharing service it launched last week, at some point, according to the Next Web. But until it does there's an easy work-around. Google Plus Nick, a Web-based app, can turn your Google+ URL into a gplus.to/user address. Just visit the app, enter the long string of numbers that Google has assigned to you and decide on a username.

Google+ Android Application

I had a look on the Android Market for the Google+ app, and here is some stuff about it.

Description:

Real-life sharing rethought for mobile.
Google+ (Google Plus) is still in active development and not yet available to everyone. You need an invitation to sign in.
Google+ for mobile makes sharing the right things with the right people a lot simpler. Huddle lets you send super-fast messages to the people you care about most. With your permission, Instant Upload automatically puts the photos and videos you take into a private album in the cloud, so you can share them anytime, from anywhere. And no matter where you are, the stream lets you stay in the loop about what your friends are sharing and where they’re checking in.
Features:
* Circles let you share the right things with just the right people.
* Stream is where you can get updates from your circles or see what people are saying about things nearby.
* Instant Upload automatically uploads videos and photos to your own private album in the cloud, to make sharing a snap.
* Huddle is super-fast group messaging for everyone in your circles.

Google+ invite app in the Android Market

A “Google+ Invite” app is already available in the Android market, indirectly promising Android users of a “Google Plus Invite,” What is this app?

Listed inside the Android application marketplace is an app named “Google+ Invite,” and it’s now getting a lot of attention and one-star reviews. According to the application’s description, it can “request Google+ access,” and it can “launch google+ invitation page directly from google on your mobile.”

It’s just an application that redirects users to the Google Plus invitation page. This app comes with display ads including the notification ads that are very irritating. This app is not an official Google application, and the company behind this misleading app is T Digita.
