Social Apps (G+ / Twitter / Facebook) All Updated for Android

You know me, you know I love updates.  And this is a bit late, but I wanted to play a bit before writing up on them.

So yesterday I turn the phone on yesterday I got the notice that several Google Apps updated:

Continuous shooting is pretty neat.  It’s neat how it just starts collecting things it sees.
 
Just bug fixes (but the previous update to see the interior map of some buildings was major).

The G+ update was pretty cool.  Nothing significant visually, but I like how the pictures are now Instant Uploading at 2500x___ instead of just 2048x___.  Not fond of the new icon, but it’s consistent with the web, looks out of place on the widget.

 

You also have a new search and update button as well as ‘check in’ features.

Then I saw that Facebook updated

… and I thought to myself, I hope it becomes more like the mobile site.  I had been using the site more than the app lately.  And that’s exactly what I got.  Nothing new if you’ve ever been to the mobile site, but a huge UI change up none-the-less.

 

It says it’s faster… I haven’t noticed that much of a speed improvement.  But it’s easier to get between menu options, which is definitely welcome. [not that I use Facebook all that much since Google+]

THEN, to finish off the trifecta of social updates Twitter revamps not only its web appearance but the Android app too.

Can’t say I say it’s an improvement, but it looks neat.  Again, I don’t use it all that much, but there are a lot of you who do, so go get it.

One thing I didn’t see what was an update to the widget on any of them.  All this new looking apparel, but the widgets (which I interact with most often) are the same ol’.

So, our faithful Android readers, which social apps are you using ?  Are you like me, and just ‘have them’ and semi-use them?  Or have you opted to use only one?
