Google+ profiles get major redesign (screenshots)

6 Mar, 2013 Google News Social Media Permalink

Do you know that Google announced a major redesign for profiles and pages today?

I wrote an article about the news for Examiner.com and had to take a few screenshots to show participants in one of my upcoming workshops.

The giant cover photo is, of course, reminiscent of what we have on Facebook. However, I find the new design much more appealing to the eye than before. And the About section is starting to look like an online résumé.

What do you think?

“Posts” page:

New Google+ profiles

“About” section: 

New Google+ profiles

 You can edit the information in the “About” page per section:

New Google+ profiles

“Photos” section:

Profile overview G+ 3

New “Reviews” tab:

New Google+ profiles

Today’s announcement comes with a couple more updates. Check out my article for more information.

    I didn’t know about this. Have been quite inactive with Google+ lately.

    I absolutely think that the new Google plus profile redesign adds a more professional feel to one’s website. It’s really nice, and I don’t think we should compare it to Facebook’s current timeline appearance. This is so much better. Thank you Cendrine.

    I am always excited when there are redesigns. It’s like shedding off old skin and exchanging it for a new one. Looks great!

    It’s good that google+’s profile has a new design. It’s always refreshing to see something new once you’ve gotten used to the old style. Thanks for doing a feature on it.

    I’m fine with the old Google. It’s clean, and I don’t have to waste a second to look for icon like news, images, etc. It’s all there in one homepage. But if Google thinks a profile revamp is for the better, then why not?
