Google has
launched a new Google+
Developers page to help developers stay abreast of all the latest Google+
platform news, events, community and more.
With Google+
gaining users every day—up to 90 million at last count—the company’s social
platform becomes a much more attractive target for developers.
In a Feb. 6
blog post introducing the new Google+ Developers Page, Chris Chabot,
Google+ Developer Relations Team Lead, said, “As the lead of the Google+
Developer Relations Team, I’m really looking forward to meeting you there—add the page to your
circles to join the conversation, comment on posts, and join our hangouts.”
Chabot said on
the new page, the Google+ Developer Relations Team will host regular hangouts
to talk about the +Platform, developers’ experiences with it, and share tips
and tricks with the community. Moreover, the team will host weekly office hours
hangouts every Wednesday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. PDT from the Google+
Developers Page.
In addition,
the +Platform team also will share Google+ developer events, conferences and
hackathons, as well as photos and videos of the events on the developer page.
“In addition, we’ll announce and discuss our +Platform launches on our page,”
Chabot said.
Last month, in
reporting on Google’s Q4 2011 earnings, eWEEK reported that Google+ had reached
90 million users and added the following:
Google+, the company's six-month-old
social-network challenger to Facebook, now has 90 million users worldwide.
That's up from the 40 million Google+
users Google CEO Larry Page announced during the company's Q3 earnings
report in October.
In a
statement, Page said, “By building a meaningful relationship with our users
through Google+, we will create amazing experiences across our services.”
According to
the eWEEK report, “Those ‘amazing experiences’
presumably include
a broad, deep integration of Google+ into existing Google services. Google,
for example, recently moved to make search more personal by injecting Google+
posts and photos in Google.com search results that are tailored to each user.”
