Don't get too excited. There's no indication that Voice is a part of Babble.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking... If everything's color coded, where's the white speech bubble with blue receiver in this new icon...?

Even if not though, it's a step in the right direction.

Google+ is great communities and just more substance then facebook

I actually REALLY like G+ compared to FB.

Google needs to truly integrate G+ into Android to the point it is in the foundation of Anroid. Getting people from FB to G+ as their primary source of social media will be a daunting task but I think it's completely possible if they become aggresive and shove down the Android user's throat.

I can't rate an App and leave a comment without leaving my real name and possibly my photo through G+. I get a static useless top icon in the drop down list in JB with my name on it, because of this deeper integration of G+.Why would i want deeper G+ integartion into Android?

the only problem is we have to get everyone off facebook and put them on google+. but agreed, so much better than facebook

I find G+ better than Facebook. It's just that the people aren't there..

Bulls**t they aren't, son.

Check out "What's Hot" (on the app) or "Explore" (on laptop/desktop). You'll find plenty of activity.

He means HIS people aren't there. Yes, G+ has plenty of strangers and tech geeks that hate Facebook there, but Google toutes G+ as connecting with YOUR friends, not strangers. That's what Twitter is for. LOL
