Introducing Google+ Create


Introducing Google+ Create

Today we are launching Google+ Create (g.co/PlusCreate), a unique program that gives amazing content creators the recognition and audience they deserve.

When we introduced Google+ Collections last May, we were blown away by the amazing things people began sharing, from the beautiful (goo.gl/ryi0jv) to the breathtaking (goo.gl/n0KpR6), from the profound (goo.gl/XfBB0y) to the playful (goo.gl/zdDVsf), from the whimsical (goo.gl/zLOMgy) to the wonderfully eclectic (goo.gl/kgtI38).

And people on Google+ agree. Since launching the redesigned Google+ in November, Collection follows have more than doubled.

But these Collections don’t create themselves. Behind them are fascinating individuals who bring their flair, imagination and craft to engage and inspire others. There are food alchemists like maria nasir in Lahore, Pakistan, writers and woodturners like Ellie Kennard and Steven Kennard in Nova Scotia, and daredevil acrobats like Randy T on a mountain top near you.

We want to celebrate these inspiring creators and amplify their unique voices. Google+ Create members get a verified profile, early access to new product features, a private channel with the Google+ team, and special opportunities to build their audiences.

Visit g.co/PlusCreate to meet some of our members, learn about the benefits, and apply to join if you’re interested. Or just immerse yourself in the diversity of Collections already on Google+ (g.co/Collections).

Public Community Member Lists


Public Community Member Lists
Starting today, public Community member lists will no longer display suspended users. We’ve also adjusted the ordering of these member lists to make them less of a target for spammers (whom we’ll continue to aggressively suspend when we identify them). Going forward, we’ll make improvements to Community member list ordering to make it work better for both members and moderators.

These changes are now live across all platforms (Classic, Web preview, and our Android and iOS apps).
Thanks~
