the few libertarian engineer friends I had at the time were the only ones excited about google+ when it came out and would use it all the time they were always posting about their right to defense and how funny it was when they got together because there would be like 4 guns in the room because they were always packing. then they would all take their guns out and put them on the coffee table and take pictures good old google plus

Google+ users I know of: Linux Torvalds and a guy on Youtube with a steam powered machine shop whose name I can't quite recall right now. Davey Richards? maybe. I miss Inbox though.

suffix posted:wave was a good idea I mean, Wave could have been a massive hit like Slack, but Google completely mis-targeted it. The thing that irks me most about the final demise of Google+ is that Google killed Reader for it. That sucked both because Google Reader was legitimately the best thing on the internet when it was around, and because killing Google Reader helped cause the massive pivot of news to social media. I remember an article Buzzfeed of all places published after Google announced they were killing Reader, talking about how Reader was the single largest source of traffic to their site. But Google knew they had to kill Reader to get people to switch over to primarily using social media for sharing articles. They just didn't know that everyone would just do it on Facebook rather than the stupidly-complicated monstrosity that was Google+.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:dude reader was dead years before gooples. nice theory tho Google+ launched in July 2011, and Reader was still very popular then. Hell, in 2012 Google removed Reader's sharing functionality and replaced it with that dumb +1 button from Google+ to try and increase traffic to the social network. Then when that didn't do enough they just announced they were killing Reader entirely in March 2013. (2013 is when Google was in full "we must increase Google+ usage" madness mode, it was November of that year when they forced Youtube comments to be tied to Google+.)

They only got rid of it like 2 years ago or so. i'm not sure why because it must have cost them all of 90 cents a year to run and it was apparently very popular. My father loved the "joke of the day" widget.

i mean google+ dying really kind of damages googles brand in the sense that googles brand is spying on you 24/7 and now theyre giving up on reading your non-public facebook posts (unless you write them with chrome i guess)

igoogle died because it was developed in kirkland and wasn't under marissa so it threatened her iron grip on the homepage. the stated reason internally they killed reader was they couldn't spare the headcount and nobody wanted to maintain it to boot. obvious bullshit
