Google+ Beta Updated with 3 Column Stream and More

Posted by on Google+
Google+ Beta for web has been updated with four improvements today, including a much requested third column of posts in the stream.

The Google+ development team is listening to user feedback and acting swiftly in implementing improvements to the recently launched Google+ Beta for web.
Four new changes are rolling out to Google+ beta
4 key changes are rolling out starting today to beta users, with a third column of posts added to the stream for those with wide displays. +Linus Torvalds will be happy about this one, after sharing an open piece of feedback last week.

Another feature welcomed back from the classic layout is a reply to comment button in the context menu. No more do we have to manually type someone's name to reply, just tap on a comment, hit the button and Google+ will do the rest. It's a time saver.

The other changes are smaller, but still much requested all the same. Those who have enabled circle streams in settings will be glad to read that the maximum number of circles displayed is no longer 6; In fact, the limit has been removed.

Finally, when browsing the 'People' section, you can now view posts from a specified circle via a context menu. That's nice, I guess.

It's a pretty solid update considering the small amount of time the general user base has been playing with the beta.

What would you like to see in future updates to Google+ beta?
