Blogger has announced “the first of many Google+ features” today, launching an automatic +snippet sharing box after you publish a blog post. It only saves a few clicks, but this makes it as easy as humanly possible to share Blogger posts to your Google+ circles.
In order to turn on this sharing option, Blogger users must link their Blogger and Google+ profiles. Blogger users got the option to replace their user profiles with their G+ profiles in October. Users can disable this feature in their sharing settings, and they can always share individual posts using the ‘share’ link in the post list.
The +snippet to share a Blogger post is the same one that launched across the Web in October. Ben Parr reported in July that the Blogger brand was going away to make room for Google+, but that hasn’t panned out. Instead, Blogger launched new dynamic layouts and a new iOS app, showing a commitment to the product in the Google+ era.
The Blogger team is holding a live video Hangout on the Blogger +page at 3 p.m. Pacific today to discuss the new features.
