RIP: Looking back at Google+ | Google Grave Yard

RIP: Looking back at Google+ | Google Grave Yard | Google + Project | Scoop.it

Google+ is shutting down at last. Google announced today it’s sunsetting its consumer-facing social network due to lack of user and developer adoption, low usage and engagement. Oh, and a data leak. It even revealed how poorly the network is performing, noting that 90 percent of Google+ user sessions are less than five seconds long. Yikes.

But things weren’t always like this. Google+ was once heralded as a serious attempt to topple Facebook’s stranglehold on social networking, and was even met with excitement in its first days.

AlGonzalezinfo's curator insight, March 10, 2013 9:05 AM

G+ is catching up big time for many reasons.  Among these reasons is the Hangout integration.  

 

We just facilitated a remote 1.5 day leadership development session with Hangouts and it was fantastic.  

 

Google is sticking to their strategy and their value is starting to win people over.  I was never a fan and, through valuable features, I am changing my perspective on the suite of offerings.

 

This is a relevant infographic.

Google+ Is Walking Dead | TechCrunch

Google+ Is Walking Dead | TechCrunch | Google + Project | Scoop.it
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+,..


One big change for Google+ is that there will no longer be a policy of “required” Google+ integrations for Google products, something that has become de rigueur for most product updates.


One impetus of this was that the YouTube integration with Google+ did not go well, something that the public recognized through the comments blowback, but that was also seen inside the company as a rocky move.

.

In the long run, the issues with Google+ didn’t especially stem from the design of the product itself, but more from the way it interjected itself into your day-to-day Google experience like some unwelcome hairy spider. Perhaps these changes will scale back the grating party crashing?

Earlier this school year we told you about our Internal Technology Residency Program through a series of blog posts. Since then, we’ve wanted to find another way to share with you more about the program and give you the opportunity to interact with some of the awesome people involved!

 

What better way for us to do this than through Google+ Hangouts On Air? On Tuesday, March 6th at 6:30 pm PST join us for a live session telling you more about the program and what sets it apart from other IT opportunities.

 

I’ll be joined by some other fellow ITRs along with an ITR recruiter; you don’t want to miss out!
