Automating Awesomeness With Google+ Magic

November 5, 2013 by Aaron Friedman Leave a Comment

It’s true I am sucker for a nifty new Google feature. But this last one blew me away! I was apparently late to learn this (yes, work actually keeps me busy), but apparently Google announced a feature in Google+ called Auto Awesomeness… Which already sounds amazing!

Can You Automate Awesomeness?!

Apparently yes! Here is what happens, its really rather simple. If you have your images set to auto backup to Google+ (as I have been doing since the beginning) Google puts then together to make a 4 square of pictures, panorama,or even an animated .gif such as this

This was the .gif that let me to discover auto awesomness… Really shows the energy of a 2 year old!

(Many more examples below)…

What Kind Of F#*%ing Sorcery Is This???

I have to be honest, I have no idea. I imagine that it has to do with the time stamp and the similarity of the images… But regardless its a ton of fun. And as a parent with kids that cant sit still for a simple picture, I can tell you for one that I often find myself snapping multiple pictures over and over and over and OVER trying to get the perfect one, which sadly never comes. But now…

…. ANIMATED .GIFS! What could be better! No Srsly, Google has miraculously turned a bunch of crappy pictures I had into pure comedy and gold. Priceless!

Will People Leave Facebook

I don’t know and to be honest, in this post, I really don’t want to start speculating. But I will tell you that my immediate reaction was to go and share the .gif on Facebook, only to discover I couldn’t because Facebook doesn’t allow animated .gifs. Instead, I found myself sharing the Google+ post and drove friends to visit me at G+. So when you think of it that way, perhaps.

Either Way, Just Snap Away!

Not that I ever really hesitated in the past, but, given this new turn of events, I will likely find myself snapping pictures over and over, trying to get that perfect shot, with absolutely no reservations since I know that it will still becomes awesome.

Please enjoy the images animated .gifs below from the past 6 months since we moved to Israel. And you will quickly notice which one of the kids is the hardest to get a decent photo of 🙂
