What happened with Google+?
In this video, we’re going to remember Google Plus, Google’s most ambitious take on social media, and its somewhat inevitable downfall to death. We’ll first revisit some of Google’s previous attempts on social networks, then go over why and how Plus was born, review some of the product features and development, do the necessary confrontation with Facebook and finally get to some conclusions on the outcome.

@goldcherries 4 года назад

The reason it failed was because it tried to FORCE everyone to join. At the time, I had NO INTEREST in being part of a social network and was on google for email only. So when they tried to force you to have a public feed and make your profile public so randos could find you, it was like they were trying to mandate how people needed to exist online. And then they tried to force you to have one for RU-vid, which again, most people want to be anonymous , it just absolutely killed any participants willing to join. I remember they had "Bob's Army" post to try to fill the comments with Spam to kill Google+. Yeah I remember it as being horrible for people who wanted no part of it.

Plus suffered from the fact that it didn't have messaging built in. A lot of the social network users at the time loved the fact that they could just message people by name not by email address. The fact that huddle wasn't built in from the start was a critical error.

There was a really strong presence of different fandoms (anime, Harry Potter, Sherlock etc.) and I remember a few of my friends and I all having hundreds to thousands of followers. I didn't even realize Google Plus wasn't that popular because I had so many friends in gifted programs who had all used Google plus religiously at some point.

Orkut was still huge in Brazil and India when they decided to shut it down. By then, people had already migrated to Facebook and had no intention to reupload their pictures and re-add their friends in yet another social network. Social networks are not just the code made by a great team of professionals, but mostly its users; and user migration between social networks are a crazy amount of work for the users.

What I really didn't like about Google+ was that it just automatically linked with the other account. Instead of having a new ground were you can first think about what you want to share with others you end up in a situation where stuff is was automatically published in a way. That one identity for everything idea seems like the worst, like how many people are there who actually want that everything of themself is associated with them in every circle of people they know?

If I was at Google, I'd have suggested slowly transitioning RU-vid into a more social space with a distinct feed and more ways to find videos. You could introduce a chat system into RU-vid easily, I think a lot of RU-vid users would be open to the idea without it being forced upon them, and with owning one of the largest social networks already, Google could've smashed it

I only used it for one thing - following (and parttaking in) the beta testing of a mobile game I like and still play casually. The layout was actually kind of well-suited to the purpose. The group of a few hundred volunteer test players was easy to moderate (then again, it's not a game that inspires conflict, quite the opposite), all members could post a variety of game-related subjects (in-game progress, glitches, trading, suggestions - I believe that one of the customization features was implemented after a suggestion I made) and the developers could communicate very clearly with us. I honestly preferred it to the Facebook community route another game I play took. Never used the platform for anything else of note, though.

Lots of recent RU-vid users were angry to discover they suddenly had their full name on display as default in the comments on RU-vid, and then finding out they suddenly had a G+ profile they didn't want.

Circles struck me as being as if Google thought the list/custom privacy functionality in Facebook was going to become a much bigger thing. The vulnerability announcements always struck me as weird because it was simultaneously urgent to sunset the service even sooner for vulnerability that was quickly detected and they were sure no one ever exploited?

@kristofgriffin384 3 года назад

I personally really enjoyed using Google+, mainly because unlike Facebook and Twitter, it didn't ban me from posting an unpopular opinion, plus all of my friends were on that site. I was actually angry when it separated from RU-vid, mainly because I comment a lot and I want to keep in touch with what I commented, so I loved going to my G+ and see everything. I'm also incredibly sad that it's going to be shut down, since me and my friends use that as our home.

The only feature that mattered was the communities tab (because the people are here to hang out with other people, not mess around with contact management), and maybe hangouts. I don't think i've ever figured out how to properly use the circles feature tbh... I never even knew about sparks either. I don't think google understood that none of the features really mattered, and none of the users really cared for them. Google+ also was really really slow, even on my laptop at the time... I remember it taking forever to load and the scrolling lagged (photos was even worse... I couldn't even use it for long without it crashing).

@danfelbm 4 года назад

Google + still works and is maintained for "Google Apps for Business" we use it at the company and I must say it has improved quite a lot. It no longer organizes by Circles (as we already have Google Groups) but by Communities; no more. It's a bit like Reddit mixed with Facebook. It has great privacy tools - and even so, you can still easily share information accross the internal communities and streams. It is a really good product for productivity and even casual entertainment. Facebook actually has a "Facebook for business" and as far as I've heard: its super shitty. Too bad it's gone. The earlier version always felt unfinished and disconnected; but the later versions (prior to its decomissioning) Google + was already something else.

As annoying as Facebook is at times (self-playing videos anyone?), G+ had some annoyances that discouraged me from using it completely. Every single time I tried to use it, it would direct me to a page telling me to add more people/interests. etc and there was no way to turn that off (even in the Google forums, other had the same problem and Google did nothing to fix it). I was also getting notifications every time I took a picture with my phone (due to the automatic sync I never opted in for)

The marketing department miss the mark big time. Before this video i had no idea with google+ was doing, except making the access of GMail more difficult.

As it never took off,it was the only site without politics and trolls in a large no. u could talk about anything without any fights,best interaction I ever witnessed on a social site,so in a way it's unpopularity wasn't all bad.

I hated Google+. RU-vid users were forced to sign up. It screwed up the rating system for comments on RU-vid. I cheered when it shut down.

Strangely enough, it was highly popular with fandoms. I knew quite a few cringey teenagers (hello!) who discovered it via RU-vid and would use it like an alternative to other fandom-heavy sites, like Tumblr.

I worked at Facebook when this was launched. I remember the entire company going into lockdown, scared shit and trying to come up with ways to combat the new looming threat ! Lucky for them it was a shit product that spontaneously combusted on its own !

@abdelali9279 3 года назад

All I do remember about this, was that one day I got a new Android phone and Google say, you can't use your hotmail address create a gmail one instead, then the next time I used Google on PC there was that ominous black bar on top, I checked Google+, once, most likely like an unskipable first time tour, then forgot about it, even I stop minding the black bar I only wante to watch videos on RU-vid and comment them.

What happened to Googles bets? I used to find it so exciting to read about the bright future they were building in Mountain View. That stuff is soo gone now?
