The new kid on the block, Google+  has certainly created a lot of Buzz (ironically, a failed Google service). Touted as a cross between Facebook and Twitter , with elements of Skype thrown into the mix, it does seem promising. The fact that Google have been a bit stingy with the invites has made everyone want to get one The first few weeks have been really good for them, with people really enjoying  the service and it garnering close to 20 Million users. It being a Google service combined with a pretty nifty Android App has made it cause Waves (another failed Google service) worldwide. The Android App for Google+ has got an update and solved quite a few bugs. Here’s a list of whats been resolved and added: Performance improvements and bug fixes . Main Stream Customizable : So far you could not make the Main Stream (similar to Facebook’s newsfeed) show posts from individual Circles. With the update, this is now possible. The popular Swype keyboard was having some issues when used with the G+ App . This too has been resolved. Huddles (Group Chat)  have an improved User Interface and also allow you to add multiple people or even entire circles to a Huddle. Huddle Permissions : You can choose exactly who can start a Huddle with you. Earlier, if a random person invited you to a Huddle and you rejected, it would automatically block them. Now you can reject the Huddle invite without having to block them .

Stuck without an Android device and want to use Google+ on your mobile? Don’t worry, an iOS App is on its way. For other users, you can point your web browser to  m.google.com/plus and use Google+ on the move.
