Free Google plus cover photo

Just like Facebook timeline cover photo after the new Google+ update, you can use nice Google plus cover photo which is normally public and will view in both in your profile page and when someone hoover over your name. You can definitely create your own customized Google plus coverage but you can also get them for free. I have come across a site where you can find a collection of different types of HD photo ready for your use. The main reason for liking this site is that it currently doesn't have any advertise and don't have to deal with all the annoying stuff. The design of the site is also impressive. The direction for using a image for coverage isn't needed since the site is very self explanatory. So check out this awesome site and choose your favorite cover photo. Click on the image or link below to visit the site.

Huge google plus updates

 

Google has taken over the base of the internet long ago but they are trying to take over the social world now, or at least trying to make it better if you listen to those things. Since Google is controlling my mind, I thought everyone would just leave Facebook and come over to Google plus, which happened but not significantly. So Google is trying the old fashion way, cool updates. The whole interface have been changed. Many awesome works of CSS can be seen in the update. Of course I can waste this post listing all the cool things that were brought about including a cover image that are visible with the profile image when hovering, but why would I do that? Just go check it out yourself at plus.google.com, or if you are too lazy, you can just watch the video below by Google.
