#LightsCameraHOA! Meet the Founder of Friends+Me, Alois Belaska!

Join us on Monday, January 25th, as our Featured Guest on our #LightsCameraHOA live-streaming broadcast will be Alois Belaska.  He is the founder of Friends+Me, the automated tool to use for your social media platforms – especially essential for your Google+ Profile and Google+ Page!  

This will be your opportunity to ask Alois any questions you have about the platform.  Alois lives in Zlin, Czech Republic, and he’ll be staying up late in his evening to introduce us to how Friends+Me can be a major help to those of us on Google+ who want to consider posting to our friends around the world during “their” time zones, rather than just posting for those within our own.  As our worldwide friendships continue to grow without geographical boundaries, this is a platform that can keep everyone in touch! 

If you would like to follow Alois on Google+, this is his link:

Take a look at the Friends+Me platform prior to our broadcast so you can have your questions ready!

Google+ Accessibility


Google+ Accessibility
You may have noticed that I regularly call out the number of “accessibility issues addressed” in our releases. Accessibility plays a big role in our ongoing efforts and in the new Google+, we’ve optimized user interfaces on Android, iOS, and the Web for easier navigation with screen readers and keyboard controls. In the past year alone, we’ve found & fixed over 450 accessibility bugs.

Some recent updates:
* Improved keyboard support on the web: navigate, comment, +1, create new posts, and more
* Improved interactions with posts using both Talkback on Android and VoiceOver on iOS that save people significant time and effort
* Search accessibility improvements on all platforms, with autocomplete results announced when they’re available

You can read more about accessibility support on the Google+ Help Center page (https://support.google.com/plus/answer/6320404), and be sure to check out the user-created GPlus Accessibility Community (https://plus.google.com/communities/108884766040433463186).

As always, we’re continuing to listen to your suggestions and ideas. So please keep them coming using the Send Feedback menu item.
Thanks~

Plus Ones Restored


Plus Ones Restored
Today some of you may notice a jump in +1s on your older posts. We had an issue earlier that resulted in some +1s not being displayed correctly. As of today, that’s fully resolved and all your posts should show the right number of +1s.

Thanks to everyone who brought this to our attention and apologies for any problems~
