Shortly after Google+ switched from field test to beta, visitors to Google's homepage (www.google.com) would see an arrow pointing to the top left of the screen.
"Thanks for waiting. Google+ is open to all! Join now," read a message at the bottom of the search box.
Assuming the visitor does not have a Google account or is not signed in, the blue arrow extending to the top left of the screen points to "You."
Google+ moved into beta earlier this week, and dropped the requirement for prospective members to have an invitation to join it.
During the last 90 days, Google+ has had more than 100 new features, which include:
Hangouts video chat for mobile phones, initially supporting Android 2.3+ devices with front-facing cameras; iOS support is coming soon.
Hangouts On Air, for speaking to a large audience, or to view as a spectator.
Hangouts with extras such as Screensharing, Sketchpad, Google Docs.
Search in Google+
Improved SMS support. Users in the US and India can now post to Google+, receive notifications, and respond to group messages via SMS (with more countries on the way).
Renaming Huddle to Messenger, and enhanced group communication features, including photo sharing.
