Google+ now available to all

Google has opened up the internet giant’s social platform Google+ to the open public after three months of ‘field trial’ testing.

"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," wrote Google engineering chief Vic Gundotra on theGoogle blog.

"Today we’re releasing nine more features that get us that much closer," added Gundotra with a number of the new features relating to the firm’s video conference feature ‘Hangout’ including Android mobile client support and the ability to broadcast hangouts to a wider audience.
