If there’s one thing Google+ has over Facebook is its photo editing features, especially with the recent introduction of Snapseed-like functions to the social network. Well the good news for Google+ users is that during Google's recent Google+ event, Vic Gundotra announced several new photo and video features that they would be introducing to the social network that should make messaging, video calling, and photo editing a lot easier.
Starting with Google Hangouts, Google has introduced introduced location sharing as well as SMS, allowing users to share their location with their friends and family as well as the ability to send and receive SMS.
Between the video uploading improvements to the photo editing and organizing tool, Google+ has ensured that they have upgraded to a higher rating. You don't have to remember accidently erasing your photo, now it will automatically backup your image. And you may want to look into Auto Awesome, the new video feature.
