Google+ For iPhone Is Finally Here! Take A Look For Yourself (GOOG)

The wait is over. Google+'s iPhone app finally hit the App Store today.

The app is very similar to the Android version that launched along with Google+ a few weeks ago. There are just a few cosmetic differences.

Of note: The "Huddles" group text chat feature is now part of the Google+ app. On Android, Huddle is a separate app.

We took Google+ on iPhone for a spin this afternoon. Check it out below.

First, make sure you download the app. You can get it free in the App Store. And don't forget to check out our tour of the web version.

Hey, Look! Mark Zuckerberg Is On Google+! (GOOG)

Looks like he's checking out the competition. 

And yes, we're pretty confident it's him, because that's a picture we haven't seen before, and most people in his "circles" are Facebook execs. Is he going to add Google's head of social Vic Gundotra?

Hey, Look: Foursquare Finally Got A Real Office In San Francisco

Foursquare's New York headquarters are pretty awesome. Its satellite office in SF hasn't been.

Foursquare used to share Square's space in the old SF Chronicle building. When Square got too big, Foursquare moved to a small shared room in the basement with a couple of other startups.

This week, Foursquare finally made the move to a real office -- a classic old warehouse south of Market. There are only about 15 full-time employees out in California, but the company is growing fast and wants to recruit more talent from Silicon Valley. And a lot of Californians don't want to move to New York.

Last night the company had a party to celebrate its new location, and we got a tour of the aftermath this morning.

The new space is on one of the small alleys south of Market Street in SF. Supposedly they're named after famous Gold Rush era madams.

Weird -- looks like a garage is here.

The actual office is upstairs.
