The Google+ team certainly isn’t coasting through the Holiday Season this year. The updates to their 6-month old social network have been coming out fast and furiously and there have been a few cool ones along the way.
Here is a quick rundown of what’s different on G+:
G+ in Gmail
Google has integrated G+ into Gmail. Now you can circle your email contacts and share photos sent to you to G+ without leaving Gmail.
G+ in Picasa Desktop
Google+ photo sharing and tagging is now part of the Picasa desktop software.

And today, the team announced a slew of changes including:
- Filter controls for your stream
