Google Plus Events : New Way To Get Together

In between the Nexus 7, Nexus Q, a bit of tongue wagging with the Jelly Bean on the day 1 of Google I/O 2012, there was apparently more stiff to look at. So today we decided to take a look at some other pretty recent stuff and news that caught the eye in the moments when we all were blown away by the Project glass!

Google plus notched up the 250Mn users mark just as the search giant' social network celebrated a year of existence. They also decided to mark the occasion with a Google+ tablet app. Timing was just perfect considering the launch of the first Nexus 7 tablet. And reports are that the iPad version would be round the corner. A yet another update the social network received was the introduction to Google events, a way to create beautiful invitations with instant sharing and a new way to get together with the family and friends. You can find a new item in the ribbon menu on your left in your Google plus account. Yes, that's Events!
Google Plus Events : New Way To Get Together


You can choose your event theme from a range of themes available for you already. If you are not interested in the themes gallery, then feel free to choose a stationary or upload your own YouTube video in there. The options are pretty simple once you decide on the theme and we loved the simplicity, just one step and you are on your way. Look at our first event that we created for a very special person who will be introduced in a few days, and we found a theme that is just apt for the occasion:
SocialCrunching Cruncher Of The Month
See how simple it is, and as obvious the Event gets synced with Google Calendar. Any update that the organizer or the guests make to the event will be published on the event stream. This makes it easier for all to keep a track on what' happening.

During the time the event is going on you can upload photos directly to the event using the a service called Party Mode. The mode can be activated on your device and turned off when not required. While the mode is active, any photos taken in the event will get their own place so you won't have to worry about the manual upload and tagging guests in them. The Party Mode is also available on the  mobile app, making it that much more fun and easier to operate as the offline thing goes away with these new Events!

After the Event is over, all the guests who haven't uploaded their photos will get reminders to do it. Also, while everyone is uploading their photos Google Events will take a note to put them in chronological order. After the party all you will need is to visit the event page and the memories will be all yours to revive.


Go straight to the your Google plus account and create a personalized event for your close ones. Do invite us, and in the mean time here is a video for you:)
