Google+ adds new feature

Google+ users can now see how far their content has traveled on the social networking site.

The company has announced all users will now get a number of "total views" alongside their profile. That number represents "the sum of your profile, post and photo views since October 2012."

The feature is part of an effort to emphasize activity on the network.
