Title: Google + done
Post by: metsrock69 on February 02, 2019, 04:35:04 pm
I got a recent email that google +is shutting down after april 2nd because there is not enough people that use it. I can understand that because I have a google + page and I use it about twice a week.

I like to keep things simple so I've never heard of it. I use Google as a search engine and I have a Gmail.  :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

I remember it was supposed to be the new/next Facebook.  I never got into it.  I guess it turned into the new/next MySpace instead.

I got the email too. I'm surprised they kept it going as long as they did. It was supposed to be the new Facebook, but it never took off. I only used it for a week or so, but no one else did, so I just kind of forgot about it.

Only a matter of time... I remember when they first came out with it & they were keeping it exclusive by invite only & then those that were in the exclusive club got to send out invites.  Too complicated at the get go.

I got that email as well.  I've only used Google + a few times for our business.  It was O.K. but I really won't miss it at all.  I love Google but don't need the +.

As long as the rest of Google stays in good shape I will be happy.  Honestly I think there's just too much stuff out there.  We really only need a little bit of stuff as long as it's well maintained.  We keep getting overwhelmed with stuff.  ::)

I saw that this morning.  I got the email a while back but didn't see it.  I hate how the google emails are split in to 3 categories. Just put them together and let me decide what I want to look at.  I never really used the
Google + so it is not a big deal.

In Gmail settings you can turn off the other categories and just use Primary. I did that right away. I hated the categories the moment I saw them.

Google Plus I guess I haven't heard about till now.  Saw that it breached security issues and user information was  exposed.  Starting to think that the less social I use, the better.  Can't be too safe.

Post by: annadote on February 03, 2019, 09:41:40 pm
I know about it, but very few people use it. It kinda stinks for you, but Google is not going to keep spending money to maintain a platform that not enough people use.  There are plenty of other social media platforms to use.

If you hover over the email address that the email comes from it will show you WHO sent it.  If it is SPAM it will not be from "google" or whoever is suppose to be sending it.

Huh? If you got the email too, why do you think it's false news? You can go to the Google+ site and it says right there, it's shutting down April 2nd.

It is not fake news.  You do not understand what is closing.  GOOGLE PLUS is closing.  Not the Google search engine.  GOOGLE PLUS is a social media platform and they are in fact closing down.

Not the Google search site. It's the Google+ social media site that's shutting down.

It is like the thread that was started about cash crate.  I called bs when I first saw the post on there because it had not been 30 minutes since I was on the website.  It would be nice if when people start threads with stuff like this you also include either a link or the info hey I just say this on their website.  Check it out.  So people know where the info is coming from.

I also can see from posts in this thread most people do not even have a clue what Google PLUS is.  I can assure you that GOOGLE is not going any where.  They are probably one of the biggest companies in the US.  OR even the world.  They do so much more than just search engines.

I don't think I ever done anything on there any way.  I did have an account.  I went in and made sure there was nothing on there.  At least they gave people time to get their stuff off the account instead of just closing.  It is important to the people who do use the site.  Nobody I knew ever used it.

Are you even reading the comments? GOOGLE is not closing down.  GOOGLE PLUS is closing down.  IT is NOT the same thing.  Either GOOGLE it or READ these comments.

Google Plus is a social media site that never took off.  The social media site GOOGLE PLUS most definitely IS closing down.  You can go to the Google Plus site and clearly see it is not fake news.  It says it right there on their site.

I won't say Google is compatible with everything but Google does off a multitude of products and services other than just a search engine.  No they are not closing all of that down.  Just the social media site that basically was suppose to be like Facebook.  I don't think I ever looked at it over one time.  I think it set it up when I set up the gmail.  Which I actually very rarely use.  I use other email platforms that work better for me.

It was just announced a few days ago.  Do you know what Google Plus is? Or are you confused like most of the people posting in here?  Most people didn't use it.  That is why they are closing it.

Your neighbor is an idiot.  Go to the GOOGLE PLUS website and read it.  It plainly says it on their website.  If you do not have a GOOGLE PLUS page then it doesn't effect you. 

Most people in this country are stupid.  They want to scream "fake news" about anything and everything.  It is not fake.  I do not even know why anybody would have any issues believing this.

Hello!

I know a lot of people don't seem to mind about google+ shutting down but I cared because I did use it for business purposes to help promote myself. Additionally, I did meet some nice people on there as well. There was a time I was there for a long time. There was also a time I took a long break too. Nevertheless, I understand why they had to shut down because why spend money on something that just isn't working anymore?

I think if you had a gmail account you had a google plus account.  It just kind of came with it.  Most people never done anything with it.  I closed my Facebook account.  Deleted everything off of it.  Emailed them and told them to delete their end as well. 

Social media is too much drama.  I do use Twitter but it is less drama than FB.  Maybe because you are limited on your post space.
