I’m on g+ since 11-1-11 and will stay until they turn the Lights Out…

Good idea Eli Fennell for this community. Now I’m joining two, what should be a good opportunity to catch up with as many plussers as possible, finding us again in the alternatives mentioned in here already.

I’m posting about Local on Googlemaps, all things technic around Google and related, funny thoughtful inspiring quotes pictures and whatever you can think of „what catches my eye interest and mind“.

Here’s my hometown today on a beautiful magic morning 🙂

A Google+ Highlight from 2012: Hosting Daria Musk

From January 2012, I was able to host Daria, and hear her excellent song about Google+! +1 Me! The song still holds up. gopi Kallayil and I, and many others appreciated her spirit.

It’s come time for me to share it with everyone.

Questions – questions – questions…..

Let’s find the answers!

Here are the questions for Google as they silence G+:

1. How will this affect our personal YT channels?

2. How will this affect business accounts where our PERSONAL G+ accounts are MANAGERS of those business accounts?

3. How will this affect access on Drive?

4. Will we be able to import into our business G+ profiles? What about those contacts?

5. Are our personal google account contacts in Gmail affected by this change?

6. What about all the logins on sites that ask for Google login and we use our personal login. Will they still work or will all those sites offering that login option need to change?

Reminder lesson: When you rely on FB, G+, LI and the rest for your business identity you are beholden to the whims and bad actors. You need to build your own site, something you can control and back up and access.

G+ official sunset 😦

We are sunsetting Consumer Google+ in August of 2019

Recently, we announced the decision to sunset the consumer version of Google+. Before anything else, we want to sincerely thank all of you. G+ has had a wonderful run, and it would not have been the same without you. Whether you use Google+ once a day or every few months, we appreciate your contributions over the years.

Given the challenges of creating and maintaining a successful Google+ that meets consumers’ expectations and the declining use of the platform, we believe this is the right decision.

We’ll provide more details right here on Google+ about how to export and save your personal content soon, and will give you time to do so. We expect to fully wind down the consumer version of Google+ in August of next year.

From all of us on the Google+ team, thank you for making this a wonderful place to share.

Sincerely,

Google+
