One great trick to making the most of any social media platform is to install apps and browser extensions. I mention a lot of them throughout the book, and new and better ones come along every day. Here’s where you’ll find the best apps and extensions for Google+.

Google Play

https://play.google.com

Along with the official Google+ app for Android, this Google site includes a wealth of Android apps that expand your social media experience. In Google Play, click Apps, click Categories, and then click Social to find all the latest apps designed to improve your mobile social experience.

iTunes Store

http://itunes.apple.com

iOS users can find a massive list of social networking apps in the iTunes Store. Open iTunes and click iTunes Store in the left-hand column. Click App Store and, in the right-hand column, choose Social Networking from the drop-down list. This takes you to even more information, including Top Charts, What’s Hot, and New.

Chrome Web Store

https://chrome.google.com/webstore

The wealth of apps and extensions for the Google Chrome browser on this site are designed to help you work with social media sites (including Google+). Open the Chrome Web Store and click Extensions. Then click Social & Communication in the left-hand column under Extensions to view all the latest social media extensions.
