Google Plus Games : Crime City or Fun with Funzio on G+

Probably the best designed game on Google Plus right now is Funzio’s Crime City at Google Plus

Funzio which has Zynga alumni http://www.funzio.com/games/ creates a mix of the best games in social game history Farmville and Mafia Wars (with some ideas from the classic Dope Wars) to make https://plus.google.com/u/0/games/865772480172

CRIME CITY

Zynga better hurry up with Farmville on this new G+ platform and the new platform needs to sort some teeny quality issues (which I shall elaborate later)

 

Games on Google Plus

You can see the games icon quite discreetly- thus gaming is in a seperate universe of its own, not cluttering your stream ala you know who.

The only flipsyde- you may end up spending much more time here 🙂

Angry Birds-

Number of Games is too low- though I am glad Zynga is on Google Plus- but then Google is an investor in Zynga and by any standards it is a wonderful platform

Rest of the games as below-

Some future additions to Google Docs

1) More Presentation Templates

8) An easy to make HTML5 editor using just the browser

Seriously http://googledocs.blogspot.com/ needs to be challenged more.

Sergey Brin is so funny

I searched for-

Ajay Ohri

About 97,600 results (0.37 seconds)

Then I searched for

Sergey Brin-

About 3,470,000 results (0.29 seconds)

30 times more pages in 30% less time. Huh!!!

Why show me 300,000 pages of results anyway—-

The point I am trying to make is why does Google have more than 3 pages to show in the default view-

wouldnt they save time, bandwidth and storage if they just show 3 pages for every search result and give more than 3 pages only for Advanced Search.

I personally like the high quality Number 7 ranked search for Sergey Brin-

becuase it is ranked 3 places higher than his own blog http://too.blogspot.com/
