Google+ to add hashtag search features and meme makers

As soon as Twitter switched their style to more of a connective, ineractive layout, that’s also a pretty reliable search engine, obviously Google had to one-up and start incorporating #hashtags in their search engine, too.

Not only will they actively be using hashtags in the search engine, but also are currently rolling out a photo text tool so users can create their own “original” memes (or, just steal the ones made on memegenerator.com).

Whether the meme maker sounds like a terrible idea or not, you cannot argue with the fact Google currently holds the #3 ranking in social networks, with over 150,000,000 active users, about 1/4th away from reaching Facebook’s user base. But if the meme sharing circles turns out to be a success, then props to Google –  but we won’t be the least bit surprised to see on the list of Google’s discontinued sites.
