Its All About Google+

Google+ is out and I am enjoying it. They have done very well with Circles and redeemed themselves from the Buzz and Wave social attempts. In only a couple days since the limited launch release started some Chrome extensions have emerged to enhance your experience:

Surplus - Brings your Google+ Notifications to the browser. This works great and is the best way to see your notifications as you browse.

Extended Share for Google Plus - Adds a "Send to ..." link next to the native Share link under a post. This will send a link to the post as found on your Google Profile to Twitter or Facebook.Helper for Google+ also has a Twitter share function.

Google Plus - A simple bookmark. (G+ Launcher also does this.)

Notification Count for Google Plus - Extension for displaying unread notification count for Google Plus. This does not show you the notifications like Surplus does; just counts the unread ones.

Enhanced Toolbar for Google Plus - Keeps the top toolbar always visible on the Google+ page like G+Fix does. (Google CSS Tricks does this also, but it impacts more than Google+.)

Color Plus - An extension that replaces any Google Plus bar with green instead of black, or other colors.

Hide Google+ Notification - Takes the notifications out of the GooglePlus bar.

+Photo Zoom - Easily zoom photos and profile pics from your Google Plus Stream. G+ Photo Zoom is also an option.

GTools+ - Change the default color (red) of the notification bubble, and other tools.

Google Plusbar (a bookmarklet) - Access to BBC News, Al Jazeera, Amazing Radio, Grooveshark, TWiT, and Pirillo seamlessly integrated into the top of your Google+ Stream.

Beautify G+ - Enhances the look of Google+ and allows you to +1 any website you are on.

Google Plus Lite - Use Google Plus in lite mode (uses the mobile version).

G+ Count in Title - Places the G+ notification count in parenthesis in the document title located in the page tab.

+Comment Toggle - Allows you to hide/show comments on Google+

Plus One Anything - Adds the ability to +1 most web pages. Google +1 provides the same functionality.

Helper for Google+ - Share Google+ Posts with people on twitter and translate posts withGoogle Translate.

Replies and more for Google+ - Adds reply and reply-to-author links, and other tweaks.

G+ Count Favicon - Replaces the favicon on plus.google.com with one that shows the current notification count.

Google+Tweet - Your Twitter timeline inside G+.

Google+Facebook - Facebook's news feed inside G+. (Proceed at own risk; this is not an approved Chrome app.)


Check back for more as I will add them when more are created. Enjoy +'ing!
