Great tool for heavy Google+ users
+Plusses is a blog platform that is free and hosted for you and has a neat trick up its sleeve – aimed at high volume and highly active Google+ users, it automatically pulls all of your Google+ updates and puts them into a streamlined, aesthetically minimalist and beautiful site with no effort on your part, and it all links back to your Google+ profile.
“We recognise that you have spent a lot of time creating content for the Google+ platform,” the company says, “and believe that you shouldn’t have to waste time rewriting it for your traditional blog.”
+Plusses pulls all videos, pictures or links attached to your status updates, statistics carry over as seen in the video above, and all comments can be seen – when someone wants to comment, they are taken directly to that unique status update’s specific URL on Google+ so anyone can comment. There is currently no word on pricing, but the site alludes to a free trial period and +Plusses blogs are updated daily.
