It's like Twin Peaks by the Sea.

You have the outside investigator (David Tennant, with stubble), a dead body, and a cast of characters that seem to have plenty of secrets. 

Intrigued about what they'll come up with in the follow on episodes.

No spoilers please...

While the activity log at https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/from/i9 is nice for keeping track of posts you +1'd it contained too little information to be really useful, so I whipped up a chrome extension that rectifies this "issue" by fetching profile picture and a small text snippet for each of the posts via the Google+ API. This only works for public posts but from my experiments it seems that only public posts ever get added to the activities anyway. The extension still needs a bit of testing and clean-up, but I'll open-source it soon :)

PS. I've all sent feedback that this should be the default behaviour without the need for extra scripts :)

PPS. Source now available you want to give it a try - https://github.com/Scarygami/gplus-experiments/tree/master/better%20%2B1%20log
