Google Calendar

A couple of weeks ago I posted about Google moving the Google Hangouts traffic to a new domain, as part of an effort to increase security and performance.  Now the company has indicated that Google Calendar traffic will be doing the same.  Over the course of the next few weeks, Google Calendar traffic will start traversing calendar.google.com in what the company indicates is primarily a security improvement.  Today when you want to see your calendar online you go to http://www.google.com/calendar.  When this rollout happens, you can still go there but will be redirected to http://calendar.google.com.

Google+ Rolling Out Link Sharing Functionality

Google+ Link Sharing

Everyone, you can file this one under the “FINALLY!” category.  Google+ has started rolling out link sharing to external services and apps.  I’ll pause here so you can savor the moment….

Up until this point on Google+ when you wanted to share a link, you would only get the link copied to the devices clipboard.  You would then have to go to the 3rd party app (email, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, etc) and then tap-and-hold to past a link to the Google+ article you want to share.  Not intuitive. Not friendly. Not really helpful.

That, it appears, is changing.  Multiple people have posted that they can now use the share menu to share a link directly into other apps on their Android Phone and Android tablets.  I have tried it on both my OnePlus One and my Nexus 7 and it is working for me.  However, this isn’t out to everyone just yet.

Android Lollipop Now On 21% of Android Devices

Google has reported that Android Lollipop now makes up 21% of the Android device population that is hitting the Google Play Store which is certainly good news but it still lags behind Android KitKat by a considerable margin.  If you remember back in August I reported that the Android Lollipop figures that Google reported was at 18% so within a month there has been a healthy 3% bump.  This is good as it means that OEMs are getting their updates out and new devices hitting the market are running Lollipop in some form or another.
