Google+

Google+ was a substitute social network platform (launched on June 28, 2011) to facebook proposed by Google.

Fp.laussy.jpgI believed it to be a revolution in the game. You can read why in my blog. Unfortunately, Google's bet on quality and maturity of the audience instead of mass-produced puerile, addictive and idiotic content turned out to be, not surprisingly, mistaken and they couldn't compete with the competing fast-food for the brain.

Thanks Junis

We were endowed to Junis Rindermann for allowing us to put a step in at a very early stage, when invites were put on hold. This way we won almost two weeks of fun.

History

On 10, July (2014), I collected over a hundred thousand views: Gplus-100th.png and doubled that in 28, October (2015): Gplus-200th.png. That was a small number of followers but with great engagements, as was discussed in comparing the number of views per follower ratios for some people of my circles.

On December (2018), Google announced they would shut down the platform, which they did in April (2019). All content has been lost forever, including posts from Linus Torvalds and likewise people who don't engage (rightly so) in other types of platforms.
