Google+ users have a couple of exciting updates to look forward to today. Comments from the social network will now be integrated into Blogger with Google+ Comments. Users can share comments they make on Blogger blogs directly with Google+ without having to leave the page. This also means that any comments made on Google+ will show up automatically on your Blogger post. Blogger users will have to enable this feature in their dashboards so Google isn’t forcing Bloggers to use Google+ Comments. Google hopes this will help Blogger users spread their content more easily.
Another update to Google+ is automatic mic muting while you’re typing in a Hangout. Google noticed that it’s hard to hear someone over a Hangout with keyboard clatter since keyboards are usually very close to the mic, especially on laptops. The company has added an automatic muting feature to make Hangouts more seamless. Users will be given a notification at the top of the Hangout window which reads, “Sounds like you’re typing so we muted your mic.” For now, this feature is only enabled for Hangouts with four or more people.
