Google+ now offers suggested content as you browse mobile news sites

The next time you browse the mobile version of a news website, Google+ may step in to guide you to related content. The tool's new recommendation feature, available on Android and iOS, can suggest similar articles, or posts by the same author, with direct access to an abbreviated version of that individual's Google+ page. To implement the feature, web developers simply need to add a single line of JavaScript to their mobile website. Forbes appears to be Mountain View's launch partner with this latest endeavor -- you should be able to take it for a spin by visiting any article page on the news organization's mobile site. Desk jockeys can preview the new recommendations engine as well -- snag a closer look in the demo video just past the break.
