I visited a local commercial garden:

Great place to get new cover images for Google+ profile!

Of course I asked permission first. Took 150 shots so I'm good.

What has happened to image view counts?

We used to be able to see how many views a photo had, in the lightroom.
Is the number hidden someplace?

I hope the feature hasn't been discontinued...

I also miss the possibility to edit photos when you upload them from the computer... Now there's just the Enhancing tool or whatever. A step backwards, to my mind.

+Brian Matiash or +Trey Ratcliff any idea about the image counter?

#Photos   #Viewcount  

Wow!

Check out the new profile cover image size & quality!

I can almost smell the roses...  
Especially on the 27" iMac: They jump right out of the screen.

New cover images, anyone? :-)

Help yourself:

EDIT: From +Yonatan Zunger in another post:
"We're having issues in prod right now: if you're missing posts, this is a bug, not a feature. BTW, if someone is still seeing an issue, knowing their approximate geo-location will help."


People are upset on Google+

It seems that Google is testing a new algo and it has slowed down the Home streams for many. Same posts pop up continuously, new posts will not show up.

Just before last year's #GoogleIO  similar things happened, Google+ was a mess for a while.  A lot of testing is always going on behind the scenes before any launch of a new feature. Hiccups occur.

Remember:

Google listens to us and I don't for one minute think that they will implement something that the majority of users hate.

If they are testing a relevance algo now, it does not mean that we are looking at the finished product - of facebookesque proportions:
- That any Google's algo would decide which posts we see in our Home stream, which is formed and selected from our circles, created as we want it by ourselves using the different settings available.

Why would they do such a thing, take a huge step backwards?

What if the algo test is for getting the What's Hot posts shown to us, to be closer to hot than lukewarm as they are now? The personal results, I mean.
There has been an improvement over the past few months but it's still hit & miss many times.

What do you think?

I think, no need for mass hysteria yet.

Glitches on Google+?

Many people have been experiencing all kinds of problems lately on the platform.
I don't know the reason for sure, but the same thing happened last year, just before the #GoogleIO  .

Frantic goings-on behind the scenes, perhaps new features to be tested, who knows what new stuff or integrations we get this week...

Patience, my dear Circleverse! :-)  Keep calm and +1...

A teaser about my forthcoming trip to Malaysia:

Kuala Lumpur - Terengganu - Langkawi

Great tours and lots of photo ops.

I've been to Malaysia many times, visited 15 of the 16 states / territories.
Labuan is on my bucket list for diving...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_and_federal_territories_of_Malaysia

So you'll be seeing and hearing more about this fantastic country:

Just added more photos there!

I wonder how many pics I'll take this time...  :-) Just taking the Canon G12 with me. Compact but good.

Langkawi sky bridge:
This curved pedestrian bridge is 2000 feet above sea level at the top of Mount Mat Cincang in Malaysia. Tourists who want to walk across the 400-foot long structure must ride up to it in a cable car. 

I guess 15 hours on Google+ is enough for today...

Did a bit of testing with Mozilla but will not give up Chrome. 
Why should I? :-)

Good night my dear Circleverse!

Fun vs useful content

So what’s a brand that is ready and willing to create useful content to do?
 
We all want to be liked. It’s no different for brands. So it’s no surprise when brands make an attempt to be funny in hopes that the humorous content will be liked and shared by its audience, or even go viral. Don’t get me wrong—I love it when a brand hits comedy paydirt...
