19 things you need to know about the #NewGooglePlus
From sending money to starting a stampede of ponies, these features are worth noting.
The bulk of the upgrades this year centered on Google+.
1. Change from one- to multi-column layouts by clicking on the More tab. Three-column layout exists but only for the largest of resolution displays. If you want to take a peek at it, just reduce your zoom on the page. The design is fully mobile responsive.
2. Shift+L will rapidly refresh the stream bringing you to the top and the new posts if you don’t want to click the button. There’s currently no way to return to auto-refreshing of the page.
3. Infographics will display in a nearly useful size at full length in the new layout. Estimated dimensions 503×930 for desktop viewing. An influx of infographic posts is likely. Keep an eye on ensuring readability.
