the fray as soon as it\u2019s opened to the public, downloading the Google+ for Android should be one of the first things on your list.<\/p>\n<p>According to reviews by Computer World and others, the new application is well-designed, straightforward, and simple to use.&nbsp; In fact, it is said to be so intuitive that, if you didn\u2019t know better, you\u2019d think Google+ was designed to be a mobile service.<\/p>\n<p>Opening the app, the home screen provides you with all of the most important icons: Stream, Huddle, Photos, Profile, and Circles.&nbsp; The only feature missing is Hangouts, which is Google+\u2019s video conferencing feature.<\/p>\n<p>Tapping one of the icons takes you to a screen that is so well-designed that it manages to fit in almost all of the elements without looking crowded.&nbsp; Navigating through the layers is also easy.&nbsp; By tapping Circles, you are taken to a list of your circles.&nbsp; Tap one of them and, using the tabs at the bottom of your screen, you can view all of the people in that circle in list form.&nbsp; From there, you can read any updates or look at photos.&nbsp; An icon located at the top allows you to search for new people to add.<\/p>\n<p>The Google+ Android app also has location awareness; something the web interface does not have.&nbsp; This means that you can filter your posts by location; selecting to see only those posts from people nearby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you 1) have an Android phone and 2) are one of the Google+ early adopters or plan to jump in to the fray as soon
