So here goes&hellip;</p> <p>Here&rsquo;s a quick list:<br> 1. Mobile app on android and iphone are awesome!<br> 2. Automatic upload of pics on phone/picasa<br> 3. Non-crappy photos (allows 2400+px, and g+ renders pictures better, since they don&rsquo;t mess with the image, if it is smaller than the max size)<br> 4. Easier to mention specific people in a conversation. (auto-completes ppl&rsquo;s profile name)<br> 5. hangouts (free video conferencing)<br> 6. Group messaging done right (huddle) on the mobile phone<br> 7. decent integration with email (I guess this is just coz I use Gmail)<br> 8. Privacy - predictable and manageable (not that it matters to me)<br> 9. Much less noise (a - mostly used by techies for now, b - allows asymmetric relationships à la twitter)<br> 10. Keyboard shortcuts (J, K work. Someone at google like vi &ndash; a lot)</p>
