Goodbye Google+…Google Plus Is Shutting Down
Over the next 10 months Google will be shutting down its seven-year-old social network, Google+.
The Rise:
Google introduced Google+ in 2011 as its social networking platform. With features such as newsfeed, recommendation engine, video chat service and friend management system – the platform was similar to Facebook and Twitter, but added a bit more. The site granted users the ability to write longer form content, which made it easier for users to engage in meaningful conversations and get useful feedback.
