| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Legacy2000 | 4/11/12 8:05 AM | So basically, you've Timelined G+. I liked Google+ because of it's simple, clean look, and I had been planning to switch to it completely when FB Timelines me. So much for that idea. Things are harder to find, and not just because we're not used to |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Silver-Streak | 4/11/12 9:22 AM | Most of the changes are ok. However, there is a ton of unneeded wasted space. Major improvement: What's hot is no longer forcibly added to the feed. Major issues: Please tell me there is a way to remove the nonsense "Trending" Bar that's taking up h |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | veritas1 | 4/11/12 10:32 AM | I fail to see most of your points legacy2000, but it's all personal preference. The only resemblance to FB timeline is the new profile option (which as stated is optional). The general layout is nice. I don't like how the stream is hugging the left s |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Max_E. | 4/11/12 1:33 PM | Love the new "show activity" design. Not wild about cover photos (they take up a lot of vertical space, although I'll probably go ahead and set one on my profile if I can't make it go away altogether.) The "trending" thing is pointless and does not i |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Kaleh | 4/12/12 6:55 AM | It is certainly common to have a wide range of opinions about any changes that Google makes. We all have different expectations and comfort levels. For those issues that you really find unappealing and don't think that you will be able to adjust to |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Dirk Talamasca | 4/12/12 9:42 AM | The New UI has eliminated the ability to remove or edit descriptions when posting a URL and I feel this is a very grave error. Many web sites simply do not adhere to rules or recommendations with regard to sharing content. The text and descriptions t |

| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Dirk Talamasca | 4/12/12 10:36 AM | @Kaleh I had assumed that I was making myself quite clear in the very first sentence of my feedback by stating that the method you are recommending is no longer an option. You can no longer remove text from the description area. The only [x] now avai |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Kaleh | 4/12/12 10:59 AM | Sorry Dirk ... I had never tried removing/editing only the text from the description area before, so I was not aware of the fact that both the title/link and the description were separate components. However, with the a loss of functionality, as yo |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Dirk Talamasca | 4/12/12 11:28 AM | Kaleh, Yes, I understand that you can post only a link and have the link appear within the body of your post. In fact, you can have several links appear there and also add an image if you remove the resulting link that populates the description field |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Kaleh | 4/12/12 11:36 AM | Dirk, I fully understand and agree with your concern. I have flagged this for the Community Managers in hopes of generating a higher level of interest in fixing it. I also hope that others are flooding Google with feedback through the Send Feedbac |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | jvanroekel | 4/12/12 1:07 PM | You do not beat facebook by copying facebook. You were gaining ground by being the grownup version of facebook, the more you act like them, the less reason there is to be here and not there. |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Jack B. Erhart | 4/12/12 1:37 PM | I discovered in the profile area of a Google+ for Business page there is no feedback capability. There is on the home page, but that doesn't help if the problem is visual, and it's accruing in the profile area of the business page. No screenshot. See |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Kaleh | 4/12/12 2:08 PM | @Jack B. Erhart I also reported the lack of access to the "Send Feedback" tool from the profile pages yesterday. I encourage others to do so as well, using the "Send Feedback" tool from any page where you have access. In the meantime, users should |
| Re: Toward a Simpler.

| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Jack B. Erhart | 4/12/12 4:25 PM | Make a bookmark of any page. Once you have the bookmark say in the bookmark bar, go in to edit the recently created bookmark. Add the javascript in where the URL is, and rename the book mark Feedback. Seems to work very well. Thanks for the heads up. |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Kaleh | 4/12/12 7:05 PM | Thanks Jack! That's pretty cool! |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Jack B. Erhart | 4/12/12 7:09 PM | Your very welcome Kaleh. Ya, I thought it was, especially once I figured out how to make it work. LOL! |

In addition to the inability to edit the description, the thumbnail image that is presented cannot be changed. This results in the post displaying images that are entirely un |
| Re: Toward a Simpler. More Beautiful Google | Legacy2000 | 4/18/12 5:40 AM | When I first saw the Timeline-style stream, I was worried that because of the incomprehensible horizontal squish and consequent vertical stretch of post content, I would have to scroll endlessly to catch up, and this further worried me because of the |
