Hi widget lovers.  You may have noticed a new look for the +1 and +Share buttons that are consistent with the Follow and Badge widgets.  We hope you like them.

You'll also notice that they scale up beautifully.  All of our buttons are now using SVG to render the iconography, and the Roboto font for text. There's even some SMIL animations hiding in there too.  All of this is perfect for your new high dpi laptop, tablet or phone. ‡

Please let us know if they're working for you and if you have any suggestions. Thanks for using Google+ widgets!

‡ results may vary on IE8 and Gingerbread browsers.

Munchery delivers.  Had a nice meal from them yesterday and noticed that they're also here on Google+.

Even if you can't get them in your area you can admire their fine food photography.  This attention to detail pervades the rest of the experience, including thoughtful packaging, high quality ingredients, and artful  presentation.  Highly recommended.

I have one invite left for purchasing Google Glass for the first person that wants it.  Remember the requirements are:

- be a US resident

- be 18 years or older

- purchase Glass

- provide a U.S. based shipping address OR pick up the device in New York, San Francisco or Los Angeles

Wow, lots of questions! We'd rather "show" than "tell" so here you go: the mono earbud, and the Glass that Explorers will be getting when they swap later this year.

Edit: More questions! The earbud plugs into Glass, so you can choose whether to use it.

Earlier this week, the number of +1s on my G+ page suddenly and inexplicably dropped from around 5,000 to approx. 800. I complained to Google 2 days ago but so far those haven't been reinstated, and it seems Google doesn't know where they went.

Did the NSA steal those, too?

Anyone else have this issue with Google+ badges? It cut off the last letter in my name! When I look at the source, I can see that the 'g' has been converted to some random unicode character. What's even more annoying is that when I go into my dashboard in tumblr to try to change this, it shows up correctly. The only place it seems not to work is when viewing the page. =/

Highly recommended.  This is an electronic/noise remix of the P.O.S album We Don't Even Live Here by experimental group Marijuana Deathsquads.

The folks at Rhymesayers Entertainment are doing a great job showcasing the creative forces of the Midwest.  Definitely worth following here on +
