Here Are All The Most Important New Updates To Google+ (GOOG)

Matt Waddell, Chief of Staff at Google, shared a great list of all the updates and changes that have been rolled out to Google+ in the past week.

From his post:

• You can now re-order your circles by dragging them left or right on the Circles page, and they'll stay that way across Google+. (For bonus points, try dragging one of your circles into the top half of the Circles page.) [original post: http://goo.gl/Jy4Vv]

• Webmasters can now see and test updates of the +1 button before they're launched to all users on their site [original post: http://goo.gl/70a31]

• The +1 button now renders up to 3x faster, and webmasters can make things even speedier by using the new async JavaScript snippet [original post: http://goo.gl/GhWGe]

• You can now choose who can start a huddle with you: Anyone, your Extended Circles, or just your Circles. To make your selection just visit Google+ settings on the desktop, or G+ settings on Android. [see attached screenshot]You should now see a better list of places when searching for a place to check into on G+ mobile. [original post: http://goo.gl/opvWa]

• You can now edit the names of your photo albums directly inside of Google+. Just go the Photos page, click "Your albums", choose an album, and click on the album title. [original post: http://goo.gl/gaVv8]

• You can now create new circles in-line from the "Add to Circle" menu all across G+ (including profiles, hovercards, and people suggestions).

• And… we've created a "What's new in Google+" page that'll help keep track of these features & fixes in the future [what's new page: http://goo.gl/0fcNs]

The Google+ team is obviously not sitting on its hands.

Facebook Updates Ad System, Adds "Sponsored Stories" So You Can Spam Your Friends Better

Facebook has rolled out an upgrade to its self-serve ad system that includes its new ad format, "Sponsored Stories", All Facebook points out.

The idea behind Sponsored Stories is to turn your Likes into ads. When you like something on Facebook and someone has bought an ad for it, that story will be broadcast to your friends.

Facebook announced the product last month but now it's part of their self-serve ad system so anyone can buy them.

The other major piece of this upgrade is that it lets advertisers select which tap of their fan page people who click on the ad will land on. So now you can split-test what people land on and optimize your campaigns better.
