Will Redesigned UI and Focus on Hangouts Attract Google+ Users?

  • Google is providing a redesign of its social network Google+, which could very well lure early users back to the platform.
  • “The UI has been greatly streamlined with a customizable ribbon of shortcuts on the left and your buddy list moved to the right. The main interface has been tidied up quite a bit and a new focus has been placed on one of the universally beloved features of the beleaguered social network — Hangouts,” Engadget writes.
  • Hangouts will now have their own dedicated home page, allowing users to more easily see any available video chat party lines.
  • “Replacing the old static toolbar at the top, the Navigation bar includes the usual icons for Home, Profile, Photos, and more. But this bar is customizable,” details CNET in a related report. Users can change the order of the icons, dragging their favorite ones to the top and removing ones they do not use at all.
  • Multimedia sharing has also been enhanced. Larger photos are coming to profile pages and Sparks have been replaced by an Explore tab.
  • The new Google+ will rollout gradually to users.
