Great new feature that makes it easier for people to follow your Google+ page from your newsletters and notifications.

In the past you had to add and verify all your sender email addresses (which were often noreply@hostname.com). Now the email hostname just needs to match your verified website, which is much easier.

Customers can now follow you directly from Gmail

Posted by Saurabh Sharma and David Nachum:

Today we're expanding the Gmail people widget to include brands and businesses (http://goo.gl/wx2mI), making it easier for your customers to connect with you on Google+. This way, when people receive emails from your domain, they can follow your Google+ page directly from their inbox! Your recent Google+ posts can also appear in the widget (alongside your email message), helping customers find and engage with your content.

To appear in the new Gmail widget, all your business or organization needs is a verified Google+ page and digitally-signed emails. Check out this page to learn more: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3190197

I was talking to Brett Slatkin about authorship and he mentioned the Google Consumer surveys offers an A/B image survey that would be perfect for Authorship profile photo optimization.

You also get geographic/demographic breakdowns so I suspect that it's a good deal more informative than the OK Cupid bestface system.

Added some information to this question about integrating with analytics.js

I wasn't aware of this change to tracking functionality.  I'll see if we can add some of this to the docs or provide an easy way to activate this tracking.

So even us Googlers are in the dark about possible musical acts for After Hours.  Last year it was Train and Paul Oakenfold.  The year before?  Janes Addiction.

Let's play a little game.  Post who you think will play and why here..

If you guess well and I'm impressed with your sleuthing skills find me at the Google+ office hours.  I might have some special schwag for you.

Your investment in authorship continues to pay dividends. Thanks everyone for implementing -- it makes products like this possible.

Content Recommendations for Your Mobile Website

When you help someone find a great article on your site, you’re not only making them happier, you’re inspiring deeper engagement and loyalty. That's why today, we're bringing together elements of Google+ and Google Search to suggest the right content from your mobile website, at just the right time.

For example: Forbes visitors can now more easily discover other Forbes articles based on Search Authorship, signals and other articles with lots of Google+ activity (including +1's and shares). In all cases, recommended content is based on the specific page the visitor is viewing, to boost the relevance of recommendations. And they only appear when people tap for more, so as not to interrupt their browsing experience.

Very interesting on a lot of fronts!
