5. Google +

Google does not give up on your social network and has introduced a lot of new features to it.

  • One more stream simple and clean
  • A new version of Hangouts
  • New forms of further improve your photos
Stream

The new Google Plus feed

The new feed (stream, mural) leaves the model of a single column and has several columns. Something that could already be seen in the application of Google + for Android.

One of the most used resources on Twitter, are “Hashtags” and now Google is betting on that too. It is possible to place tags to classify the content, making it easier to find related content.

Hangout

The first step in solving the problem of “confusion of instant communication ” Google has just been given. The solution goes through a Hangouts app, available for Android and iOS. An interesting feature added to the application is that it can store conversations instead of contacts, allowing the creation of groups, just like that famous instant communicator, Whatsapp.

Photos

Google plus will allow photos up to 8 megapixels, larger than other networks like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. In addition, other resources for improving the photos were made available, among them: reduction of the grain, and filters to clean and improve the photo.

One of the most innovative features is the automatic selection of the best photos for the creation of an album, using standards as the best focus, if there are people to smile, landscape, elimination of repeated images, that is, a new album without the user having to work very hard to organize it.

6. Google Play for Schools

Play Store for Schools

Man is not just for fun, so this service was announced for schools, when an educational package app is purchased on Google Play, it can be distributed to as many tablets as needed. In this way the costs will be reduced and we will have a great incentive to digital inclusion.

7. Samsung Galaxy S4

Galaxy S4 by Google

Yes, this was one of Google's investments, launching the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a native version of the Android operating system, without the changes made by Samsung, letting that device be more exploited by developers.

8. New image and video format

New image pattern

Stay tuned because when Google invests in something, it tries to guarantee success. We will see if this will be the case for the new image and video standards that have appeared to replace “jpg” and “H.264”.

The format WebP, was created to succeed JPEG, the format most used on the internet. The new format ensures images that take up less 31% space, but without losing image quality. In the same way the VP9 the standard that can be 63% smaller in size compared to H.264 without losing image quality. YouTube will have support for VP9 later this year… now remember what I said above.

We'll see what surprises we'll have today.
