Google unveiled a shed-load of astonishing new features at the Google I/O keynote on Wednesday, some of which were more exciting than others. One of the company’s smaller — but still important — announcements was the ability to send money via a linked bank account through Gmail and Google Wallet.

At Google I/O this morning the search giant announced that it has 41 new features that are coming to Google+ today, along with a redesigned news stream.

The newly designed stream is aimed to give Google+ users a deeper experience by adding multiple columns of content and ‘smart hashtags’ to connect posts to other Google+ users who aren’t circled.

Well, we can’t say we’re too surprised with this one following this week’s leak, but it’s great to see Google Play game services has been officially confirmed at Google I/O this morning. The service will rival services like Game Center on iOS, and features will include cloud-based game syncing, online multiplayer, and more.

Google I/O kicks off today, and one of the announcements you can look forward to is a new Google Maps service. Google accidentally teased major changes ahead of its official unveiling by opening up a new webpage that allowed users to request an invite to a new Maps service.

That page has now been pulled, but not before screenshots began making their way around the Internet.

Google rolled out a brand new Google Play redesign back in April, but the company clearly wasn’t completely happy with the new look. It has already begun making minor design changes, which are rolling out now in another Google Play update.

In addition to the UI tweaks, Google has also added the ability to sync app data with your Google account to make your preferences consistent across all of your Android-powered devices.
