Google+ redesigns Profile & Pages: Local reviews, Larger Cover, new About tab





Today Google made some updates to its social network Google+. Now you will see profile pages with different look and easier to manage.
Sara McKinley, an employee of Google has announced these improvements.
In those she mentioned three main improvements.

A new tab for your Local reviews. In addition to your photos, +1's and YouTube videos, there's now a place for all your Local reviews. Highlight your favorite restaurants, or hide the tab completely via settings -- it's completely up to you.

- An easier way to edit your info. The 'About' tab now consists of separate cards (like Story, Places, and Links) -- each with its own prominent edit link. As always: you can share specific fields with specific circles, or keep them just for you.

- Bigger cover photos, with a better aspect ratio. Cover photos are much larger than before (up to 2120px by 1192px), and they display in 16x9 when fully expanded. This way more images can be used as cover photos, and there’s more room for your selection to shine.
 These changes will be made gradually .. So be patient.
