The untimely demise of Google plus

22 Comments

1. Pinterest is supported now (image sharing). Google plus was an interesting experiment by google but as is their tradition if they don’t rocket to the top, they shutter the doors.

   A lot like IBM when I think about it.

   • An apt comparison. I get the feeling they were always looking for any excuse to pull the plug on an underperformer…

     • yup. Its too bad, Google+ has a lot of features that Facebook and Pinterest never really got. Pushing things to Tumblr works but, they have limits as well.

       I wonder if Google is going to rejigger plus and open it as something else later!

       • It seems to have left a bad taste in their mouth, so I doubt it. But you never know, someone might come up with a hip new idea and then it’s resurrection time…

         • Google does love to throw spaghetti against the wall and see if it is done.

   • honestly, we don’t know that they will pick a replacement. I am just assuming they will…

4. I haven’t really used G+ … lol and it’s already closing.
   Your suggestion is pretty good … we can only hope the admins accepts it

   • We don’t know that Virily plans to replace g+ with anything, only that it is going away soon. It would be nice to be able to plan for the future, though…

6. It’s very good news for me that they plan to create another image-sharing social networking site, not simply to shut down g+, thank you so much for sharing!!! Also hope that Virily will support this new site.

   • I doubt google has any plans to replace g+ and I don’t know for certain that Virily will be replacing it with another site. The only thing I know is that g+ will be sunsetted in April

   • it probably doesn’t matter to you then, so you don’t need to worry about it

     • It does not matter to me and I do not care either dear friend

       • this is for users who share and promote their content outside of Virily, especially on g+

         • Now I understand … thanks for the explanation my friend

8. I also want this new site to migrate to share images, to be the one that Viryli maintains …
