Google+
turns two years old today and is marking the occasion with new buttons and badges for websites, along with a few tweaks to its photo features. There’s also a special birthday logo that’s showing up only on plus.google.com (which you can see at right).
As far as the new stuff goes, there’s a new “Follow” button for individual Google+ users, as well as a new badge for Community managers. Both come in different sizes and can be customized. Here’s what they look like:
In addition to those new badges, Google has also updated the existing badges for Pages and Profiles with new customization options.
The existing badges will continue to work as-is for 90 days, and Google says it’ll automatically upgrade those badges to the new style after that.
Photo Updates, Too
In a separate post, Google has also updated some of its photo management features in Google+.
Large photo sets can now be uploaded faster
In photo albums, easier downloading after selecting individual photos
New option to move photos from one album to another
These features are available now in any Google+ photo albums you may have uploaded/created.
