6 Changes We’d Like To See on
          Google+
The Google+ saga continues, so we
thought a few ideas were in order. Feel
   free to add to this list, and maybe
     Google will see it and make the
    changes. You never know! In the
    meantime enjoy our list of the 6
 changes we’d like to see implemented
       into The Google+ Project.
#1: Sheering The Notification List
If you’ve been on Google+ for a while,
    you’ve probably noticed that the
notifications come thick and fast – for
everything. If you comment on a post,
you get every notification thereafter. If
  someone +1’s you, you get notified.
Lists of names, actions and nonsense
that really don’t have to be there. It’s
 nice to know people are interacting
 with you. But then make it exclusive
 interaction, or pop in some control
setting for this. It’s info overload gone
                   wild.
#2: Extreme Stream
The main news stream on Google+ is
very disorganized. It has absolutely no
  filters like the Facebook edgerank
system, that ranks updates according
             to relationships.
Instead, every time you scroll down to
   read something, and scroll back up
  again, the posts gone – replaced by
     new posts from a huge influx of
    people. When you follow thought
  leaders that post often, the endless
scrolling really gets to you. How about
 a new algorithm that sorts this out?
#3: So Very Many People
Google+ has the potential to form
huge communities, well beyond the
average Facebook users 130 people
limit. This is mostly due to the find
people section on the circles page.
It’s great to suggest people that we
don’t know, Google, but having to click
 on each one of them to find out who
    they are – is mission impossible.
Everyone likes to race to have highest
      numbers – so are we forming
   communities of useless people we
 don’t know? This system needs some
               streamlining.
#4: The Games Issue
Google may not have realized it, but
their brand continuation on Google+,
   makes the games section feel a
bit…redundant. Why not do a normal
Google search for games and play on
    other websites with a greater
              selection?
Why should I play these generic games
on Google+? They just don’t have the
 same appeal as Facebook games. If
Google+ doesn’t do something to their
   games section, its going to fail.
#5: Complete Lack of Business
       Functionality
Yes, Google+ is working on getting the
business functionality ready. But in the
 meantime, they’re losing users and
people are seeing less and less value in
  the platform. Business features are
    what attract so many people to
              Facebook.
Google needs to get moving on this
   sooner rather than later, or they’re
 going to miss their chance. And once
it’s gone, they’re going to experience a
        MySpace-like meltdown.
#6: Limited Connectivity
At the risk of continually comparing
 Google+ to Facebook, Google+ lacks
  something rather large. When you
arrive on Facebook, there are a million
things you can do, waiting to be done.
Playing, shopping, chatting searching
    pages, finding groups to join –
   enjoying the social atmosphere.
   Google+ doesn’t have this. The
  platform feels hopelessly limited.
There’s not much to do, but interact
 with people, and that’s not always
  what people want to do. Perhaps
    some deeper layers Google+?
