Like a lot of people right now I am loving Google+ – the search giants stab at social networking.

Until Google get around to releasing a kick-ass API for Google+ so someone can make a Google+ Messaging Menu entry, desktop app or Unity Launcher with notification badge�the following Unity Quicklist should make for a welcome stop-gap.

Download Google+ Unity Quicklist

Credit goes to Ferramosca Roberto�whose original Italian Quicklist�I’ve translated to English. I’ve also added a different, more Google+-y icon by ~d-bliss.

So to download and install you need to open a new Terminal tab or window. Enter each of the following commands carefully: –

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000127/google%2B.desktop

wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3000127/google%2B1.png

mv google+.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

sudo mv google+1.png /usr/share/pixmaps/

Once completed add the ‘Google+’ quicklist to the Unity Launcher by dragging the ‘google+.desktop’ file in ~/.local/share/applications onto the Unity Launcher.
