Are you over on Google+? We are. And quite a few others. Last night a quite remarkable thing happened. And it is quite awasome, as well, to be honest. At least, we're impressed.

This will change, of course. But now Google(+) is ahead. We're just saying. Google's new iphone app rocks Facebook's app. No doubt. So why not go check it out? At least if you are bying the Facebook stock.. Are you?
