Google Takeout introduces transfer tool for Google+ circles, merges your work and personal life

Google Takeout introduces transfer tool for Google circles, merges your work and personal life

Those who extol the virtues of keeping one’s personal and professional life separate probably never had to juggle two Google+ accounts. Folks saddled with a Google+ profile for both their personal Gmail account and their organization’s Google Apps account can now migrate circles, blocks and other information from one account to another using Google Takeout. The new tool won’t eliminate your double digital life completely, however — content such as posts, profile information and comments don’t migrate. The process takes time, too, kicking off with a seven day waiting period before restricting the user’s Google+ access for 48 hours while Takeout boxes up the data. Still, this should make managing Circles across multiple accounts a little simpler. Check out the official Google help page at the source link below.

Facebook’s App Center pokes its way into the UK, now available to you and your friends

Facebook's App Center pokes its way into the UK, now available to you and your friends

It’s been nearly a month since we saw Facebook officially introduce us to its newly minted App Center, and now Zuck & Co. are taking the application-loaded service to internet grounds over in the UK. Facebook’s App Center in the Kingdom (or, as UKers call it, App Centre) won’t be much different in comparison to its American counterpart, thus you’ll still be able to grab all those big-name apps like the network’s own Instagram, Draw Something, Spotify and Pinterest — of course, there’s over 600 others to choose from. In addition to these, though, there are some Euro-specific additions to the application mix, including Deezer’s music streaming goods. Eager to find out what all the App Centre fuss is about? Then head over to the source below, where you’ll be able to poke around it yourself.
