Here’s a small but very cool update. While we all know the red notification box follows you around on Google properties, but what happens when you’re on a non-Google site? (it happens sometimes)
While there are browser extensions that can help, Google has made a subtle change to the page title of Google+ that updates when you get a new notification. Notice the small “(1)” in my browser tab seen here:
It’s nice that it puts it at the beginning of the title so that it’s still visible even if you have a lot of tabs open and it gets squished down a good bit.

Nice, but I’m still waiting for the “Unread message icon” that is available on Gmail Labs to make it over to G+.
Yeah, that would be nice to have too.
Does it only work in Chrome? All I have at work is Firefox and IE.
I believe it’ll work in any browser, since it’s simply modifying the title tag of page.
