Google+, the search giant's bid to boost its relevance in the socially networked world of the Web, is now open to the masses
Google had required invitations to the service, since its debut as a "project" in June. But this morning, Google opened the doors of Google+ to all. Google+ has also graduated to being a "beta" product.
"We're nowhere near done, but with the improvements we've made so far we're ready to move from field trial to beta, and introduce our 100th feature: open sign-ups," Google's Senior Vice President of Engineering Vic Gundotra wrote in a blog post. "This way anyone can visit Google.com/+, join the project, and connect with the people they care about."
Google also announced adding the ability to do a video Hangout, a PC-based feature of the service since its launch, on a mobile phone. Users can also search in Google+, a feature that had been surprisingly absent from the search giant's service until now.
