Maven Clinic launches program for members who want to get pregnant without IVF
The company also expanded access to 12 different provider types for male fertility care
Read more...The biggest social network that no one seems to be using, otherwise known as Google+, has announced an important new feature. Google+ will soon be integrated into Gmail accounts, adding a widget to the side of the Gmail layout so Google+ updates are visble.
And just as important as the integration itself is that Google+ accounts and Gmail accounts will soon have the option to transfer address books directly into Google+ circles, or as the announcement described it: "Grow your circles from your email."
Other new features include filters for email contacts, so users only see the people they want in Google+ updates, and a greater ability to post pictures or videos that are emailed to users directly to Google+ via interactive buttons on Gmail.
And the coup de grâce? After the update, Gmail contacts that are also connected to Google+ will have their most current contact information automatically updated. Not too shabby.
This is a big step for Google+. The new social networking platform hasn't exactly been struggling for members -- 40 million users at last count in October, and that was before Google Pages allowed businesses to join the fun. But since its release five months ago, Google+ has had something of an identity crisis.
There's a saying that cuts right to the heart of the matter, "Twitter makes me like people I've never met, and Facebook makes me hate people I know in real life." The problem with Google+ is that, aside from its genuinely innovative "Hangout" feature, people don't seem to really know what it's for. But connecting the unassailably great Gmail with Google+ may be just the shot in the arm the identity-challenged social network needed.
Because we all knew it was just a matter of time before Google took over one more part of the Web, right?
