#googleplustips #googleplus
Fantastic news if you’re a social media geek, hash tags now work on Google Plus. And they’ve made search real time. If you don’t see your hash tags converted yet, give it a bit it refresh your page. Unfortunately hash tags don’t work on the mobile apps just yet. Punit Soni ?

Real-time search and improved hashtag support
Today we’re rolling out two new features: 1) real-time search results; and 2) improved hashtag support. Together, we’re trying to make it easier to follow and contribute to live events on Google+, including breaking news, sporting events, and many others.
Real-time search
Now when you search in Google+, you’ll see a message about new posts the instant they’re available. If you click on this message, or select “Most recent”, then relevant posts will start appearing in real-time.
Improved hashtag support
People have long used hashtags to mark their posts with certain topics — just ask our very own Chris Messina, hashtag inventor. You don’t have to use hashtags on Google+ (search works fine without them), but when you do, we’ll automatically link to search results.
Check out the video to see both features in action, and let us know what you think in the comments! #googleplusupdate
