Another Google Flop - Google+ Is Walking Dead
 
Quote:

Today, Google?s Vic Gundotra announced that he would be leaving the company after eight years. The first obvious question is where this leaves Google+, Gundotra?s baby and primary project for the past several of those years.

What we?re hearing from multiple sources is that Google+ will no longer be considered a product, but a platform ? essentially ending its competition with other social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

A Google representative has vehemently denied these claims. ?Today?s news has no impact on our Google+ strategy ? we have an incredibly talented team that will continue to build great user experiences across Google+, Hangouts and Photos.?

According to two sources, Google has apparently been reshuffling the teams that used to form the core of Google+, a group numbering between 1,000 and 1,200 employees. We hear that there?s a new building on campus, so many of those people are getting moved physically, as well ? not necessarily due to Gundotra?s departure.

As part of these staff changes, the Google Hangouts team will be moving to the Android team, and it?s likely that the photos team will follow, these people said. Basically, talent will be shifting away from the Google+ kingdom and towards Android as a platform, we?re hearing.

We?ve heard Google has not yet decided what to do with the teams not going to Android, and that Google+ is not ?officially? dead, more like walking dead: ?When you fire the top dog and take away all resources it is what it is.? It will take copious amounts of work for it to un-zombie, if that?s even a possibility.
Google+ Is Walking Dead

Google+ is too complicated - Its hard to work out what the fuck is going on most of the time - My 'test' is could my mum use it? - Not a chance in hell...

Never trusted it myself, kept clear, it was constantly trying to force its way into my life :2 cents:

I have to admit it was a little bit tricky at first but you soon get the hang of it. It drives a fair bit of traffic to my sites.

I had it working well - I stuck with no nudity - Then after my 4th suspended account I gave up...

We need a good adult friendly social site to get some real traction.....

scottybuzz 04-29-2014 06:02 AM

no way is google going to simply give up on this.

I don't use it for adult at all, only my photography.

I agree, it's disorganized and difficult to use as a social platform. And I can say that even if I didn't use it with the intent of pushing traffic. With traffic efforts, I'm willing to invest time and energy to get it rolling. If I was solely doing G+ as a social network, I'd forget it.

Rochard 04-29-2014 06:42 AM

I never even tried with Google Plus. I'm sorry, but I can't jump on the bandwagon with every new social media site that goes online. I just don't have that kind of free time.

BlackCrayon 04-29-2014 06:52 AM

i am not a social media person but just the fact that they tried to force it down people's throats so bad was a sure recipe for failure.

The Dawg 04-29-2014 07:28 AM

One fuck up was incorporating it into Youtube. No one wants their real name posted in youtube comments.

Google has too many things going on and may end up going the way of Yahoo. Dead properties everywhere.

Drake 04-29-2014 07:29 AM

I never understood it

Good.

I hope they realize that they can't BE the whole internet. They won't realize this of course and are still trying to take over the world. But, I am happy at this failure on their part.

Another fuck up was trying to force it down everyone's throat - even on my phone, I can't get half the shit done if I"m not signed in with Gmail, Google+, Google-, Google Play, Google Glasses, Google Toilet, G-shite and others of the sorts.

Thank you Google - you have truly revolutionized our lives, now please die!

Fuck G+

It's the main thing making me think about quitting youtube.

My youtube account is fucked up, I keep getting logged out and then put into a second account that youtube created for me when they forced my account into g+

I'm always in the wrong account after I log in and have switch to the correct account.

It has really ruined my youtube experience.

This stupid "link all accounts" means you have no idea of what information you are actually showing online.

without us having to actually explain that it fucking sucks.

Thanks

If webmasters who are more tech savvy find G+ sucks, imagine what the opinion is of the less tech savvy general public.

adultmobile 04-29-2014 03:46 PM

Google Hangouts is getting popular, especially as it can do live broadcasts on youtube, also it is preinstalled in Android and no way to deinstall it except with rooted phone and utils :)

SiMpLe 04-29-2014 04:25 PM

They should just tun it into a hub / login landing point for the rest of their apps.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

BIGTYMER 04-29-2014 10:41 PM

Fuck Google.

If I wanted G+ I'd signup. Don't force that crap on me...

leg4 04-30-2014 01:36 AM

I like Google + but its just not catching on with the masses.

Facebook is good, but I am bored of it and I would switch to something else just because of that.

Theo 04-30-2014 06:25 AM

Too complicated for the average Joe. Hangouts is the main thing keeping it alive. Even google glass doesn't properly work with it. Good luck to get the video uploading of the glass working with it
