Google+ rolls out updates profile pagesMarch 6, 2013 - 21:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Google+ has rolled out new features for its profile and pages, including a "Local" reviews tab and larger cover photos, one day ahead of Facebook's big News Feed announcement, Mashable reports. The company announced in a Google+ post on Wednesday, March 6, that users will gradually start to see some new features added throughout the social network. Among the changes is a new tab for local reviews — a move in line with Google's efforts to expand local search across its platforms. Similar to photos and +1 buttons, users will be able to highlight reviews and favorite restaurants (This option can also be hidden via the settings button). Members will also start to see larger cover photos with a better aspect ratio. Now, cover photos display 2120 pixels by 1192 pixels at a 16:9 ratio when fully expanded. "This way more images can be used as cover photos, and there’s more room for your selection to shine," Google said. The company is also making it easier for users to edit information via the About tab, which now includes options to edit Education, Work, Links and Places.
