&gt; But Google+ used to be single column!<p>...<p>&gt; but suddenly you needed to scroll up and down to be able to read both columns.<p>I guess many of us don&#x27;t read any column in google plus, we just glance them and take a closer look at a few things.<p>...
&gt; I really wonder why they decided to change it.<p>I have a couple of reasons why they might have done it:<p>1.The focus is on lots of short-form (think twitterish).<p>2. Stacking smaller blocks sideways neatly lets you format posts themselves the same way in multiple screen resolutions.<p>Twitter is a darling it seems despite wasting most of my screen.<p>Google plus is hated for everything despite being IMO a better product both technically and design-wise.
