There is talks or mentions about Google+ bar, pretty much everyone using Google product have used it but quite a lot of people are unaware of the name i.e Google+ bar.

We thought of giving it a quick & short post about it. So, wondering what really is Google+ bar? Simply saying it’s your connection to Google+.

As part of re-designing effort by Google with their online products, google introduced this consistent look on top of every Google product – a dark black bar on the top with links to Google+, Gmail, Documents, Web, Reader, Photo’s, Calendar, etc. That is officially called as Google+ bar (refer image below)
