Portable G+ Notifier

This is the portable counterpart of G+ Notifier, a convenient application that pops up from the taskbar notifications area with alerts for your Google Plus account. It does not come packed with complicated options or configuration settings, making it accessible to all types of users.

Portability advantages

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can save the program files in any part of the hard drive and just click the executable to launch G+ Notifier. Otherwise, you can save it to a pen drive or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no previous installers.
What's more, unlike most installers, it does not modify Windows registry settings or create extra files on the disk, thus leaving it clean after removal.

Accessibility via the system tray

Once launched, G+ Notifier creates an icon in the taskbar notifications area. You can get started by specifying your Gmail address and password for login purposes. Plus, the tool can be asked to remember these credentials for future login sessions.

View alerts and seamlessly share thoughts

From this point on, G+ Notifier shows notifications from your Google+ account, such as new posts made by other users, and new friend invitations. It is possible to access the stream, photos, circles, personal profile, and notifications, as well as to share your thoughts in just a couple of clicks.

Evaluation and conclusion

It had a good response time and left a small footprint on computer performance, using low CPU and memory. Unfortunately, G+ Notifier does not come bundled with rich features. Nevertheless, it delivers a fast and effective method to keeping up to date with the Google+ account.
