Well, a lot of iPhone users are curious to find a way. If you are one of them, then worry not because you now post on Google+ from your iPhone using DoAT.

DoAT is not an official application released by Google but it certainly can help you a lot. It is the first iOS app which supports posting on Google+. Just by a single tap, you can get access to many mobile web sites. DoAT is a search app which features posting, reading and content aggregating on Google+.

DoAT has a quite simple and user-friendly interface but official API support is yet to be released, it allows you to use mobile web interface of Google+. Don’t expect anything extra from it because it only displays new user interface specially designed for iOS and the rest is all what Google+ offers. It gives you access to link and name of the page automatically. It will help you save your time rather than visiting Google+ manually.

It’s not exactly what many people were waiting for, but it’s worth a try

On web browsers, when the mouse is hovered over the browser’s icon, it shows thumbs of all the tabs even if the tabs are not selected. On Google chrome, this feature is disabled by default. If enabled, the aero peek shows only one tab at a time. However, one can fix this problem by using simple chrome.exe command line.

  • Create a shortcut of Google Chrome on the desktop
  • Right click the shortcut and select properties
  • Add “–enable aero-peek-tabs” at the end of the path written in the target field
  • Tap the ok button.
  • Open the Google chrome using the edited shortcut.  You will notice the aero peek preview for all tabs when mouse is hovered  over the tab

If you experience any problem in Google chrome, then try to remove this added command from the target path.
