Share your Google+ Circles


Google+ rolled out a new feature that let users to share who’s in their “circles”.
Google Plus has become a way for people to follow favorite celebrities, talking heads in certain fields and other interesting folks, and users have been asking for a way to share those groups with one another. Users can now do that by choosing a circle from Circles tab and clicking “share this circle” option. Users can decide which circles they want to share that information with.

When you share a circle, you only share who’s in it, and not the name of the circle. So if someone is in your “Acquaintances” circle instead of your “Friends” circle, they’ll never have to know. Even if you share a circle, all subsequent edits are private.

Edit videos using YouTube

YouTube added an editing tool that lets creators of videos to make changes to snippets after they have been uploaded to YouTube. An "Edit Video" button allows changes such as adding effects, swapping soundtracks, or trimming clips right at Youtube.
Until now, when you uploaded to YouTube, your video was hosted and shared, but couldn't really be changed. But now, you can edit your uploaded videos right on YouTube.  Video makers have lamented that strings of online comments and view count tallies are lost when works are removed for editing and then uploaded anew to YouTube.


If you don’t like the new version, you can revert to the original and save again. You can also save your edits into a new video and try out multiple versions. Note that popular videos with over 1,000 views and videos with third-party content can only be saved as new videos once edited.
