Perfect timing from Google for releasing an update for G+. Most developers never release updates on Fridays so they don't have to deal with fixing bugs on the first weekend of the update. Google surely surprised me today!

They went from changing the icon, again!, to adding some moods à la Facebook it seems, to moving the icons to the bottom of the page, weird. It sure looks good, although not too hyper about having the icons at the bottom now that they're bigger.

This is a big update with a lot of new features, but the biggest one to me has been the integration of the Communities into the app. I am so happy they didn't make us wait as long as they did for pages and also that they actually made a good job with it. I still don't use my phone to update my pages since I find the "log out/log in" a real pain. The communities are accessible right from the menu, as it should be, and that is just perfect.

Overall, awesome job on this update. Love it!
