Google+ to roll our 'major improvements' soon

Google plans to roll out several major improvements to its social network, Google+, during the next three months.

One early improvement will be Google Doc integration. This enhancement is expected to be available within a week.

Future improvements include deeper integration with Google search, YouTube, Google Maps, and the company's mobile operating system, Android.

Google has also clarified its position on the use of pseudonyms, a common thing on the internet that the company has infamously rejected. The software giant suggested that the option will likely be available down the road but may restrict priveledges to those who choose to use them.

So far, more than 40 million users have registered for Google+. Twitter has over 200 million users and Facebook has over 800 million users, although Google recently claimed it is playing a "different game" then these supposed competitors. Google has the advantage of easily reaching out to the hundreds of millions of daily Google users (search, maps, images, gmail, etc.) to expand its user base, which explains much of its original rapid growth. However, critics claim the site has already lost substantial momentum and is at risk of going the way of Buzz and Wave, Google's past two attempts at a social network.
