Google+ now open to all with 91 different improvements
Google has announced that their Google Plus social networking site is now available for everyone to join. For those that have been denied access for 3 months without an "invitation," this is your chance to check it out with all the added features.
"The Google+ project has been in field trial for just under 90 days, and in that time we’ve made 91 different improvements (many of which are posted here). Google+ is still in its infancy, of course, but we’re more excited than ever to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to software. Today we’re releasing nine more features that get us that much closer."
Here are the 9 new features:
1. Hangouts on your phone
3, 4, 5, 6, 7: Hangout with Extras
Screensharing: for when you want to show off your vacation photos, your high score, your lesson plan or whatever else is on your screen
Sketchpad: for when you want to draw, doodle, or just scribble together
Google Docs: for when you want to write, plan or present something with others
Named Hangouts: for when you want to join or create a public hangout about a certain topic (like fashion or music or sports...)
In less than two months, Google+ exploded to 25 million members, making it the fastest-growing social network ever, according to comScore.

8. Hangout APIs
In the wake of last week’s Google+ API launch, google is also releasing a basic set of Hangouts APIs. If you're a developer who wants to build new kinds of apps and games (and who-knows-what-else), then you can find more details on the Google+ platform blog.
9. Search in Google+
Just type what you’re looking for into the Google+ search box, and it'll return relevant people and posts, as well as popular content from around the web.
If you’re into photography, for example, then you’ll see other enthusiasts and lots of great pictures. If you care more about cooking, then you’ll see other chefs and food from around the globe. In all cases, Google+ search results include items that only you can see, so family updates are just as easy to find as international news.
