I thought to use them from this month onwards, but unfortunately they lead to close. I wouldn't say anything since the door needed to close only. They closed Orkut in the past and now Gplus looks like They are facing some problems against social network site.

Google+ was Google's big shot to get into the social network competition, but it never really seemed to take off. I haven't messed with Google+ in a few years. I think I made a Google+ page for my website when Google+ first came out, but I never even bothered to update that page.

Yes, I am also hearing about it, But I think G+ is vital part of networking world.

Google+ is choosing to close there services after a massive data breach. It's a shame that there shutting down as they were a key part to the social media industry. The platform was a perfect marketing tool for small businesses which wanted to grow and reach out to people. Besides this, it allowed regular users to post, engage and comment all through digital media but on the other hand, the company competitor never seemed to take off and succeed. I have enjoyed using Google+ and I'm disappointed that there closing soon.

I own a 50,000 member community on Google+,. Where do I stand and what do you suggest me doing?

I want to transfer the members to my forum/discord server but there is no direct way of doing it. I can pin a post to the top of the community but apart from that I'm lost for ideas. I need suggestions and advice

Google's big shot to get into the social network competition was Google +, but I guess Google + decide to close there services after a massive data breach.

The platform was a perfect marketing tool and it's a shame they want to shutdown

I have an account in Google+ but it was already inactive for a long time even before it was first announced that it will shut down a department, I think it was about the consumer. The reason was low traffic. That clearly means that Google+ was a failure because it was not attractive to the common people. Some say that it was for the elite but I really don't know why it did not click. Maybe Google is planning another stab at a social media type of site.

Due to low user engagement and disclosed software design flaws that potentially allowed outside developers access to personal information of its users, the Google+ developer API was discontinued on March 7, 2019, and Google+ was shut down for business and personal use on April 2, 2019.

What's Google+ does anyway? I have it in my phone but i never had an account or actually used it. Never seen anyone discussing anything about it except when it's about to close down. Guess that one of the reason is despite it being from Google there's a lack of people activity on it.

Google plus is the first Google product that I have seen that failed, most Google products are always successful because Google has a big name and brand. Google plus is one Google feature that I never really understood although I opened it and I was just looking at it, I never really understood how it works.

Google Plus to shut down is not a good decision as we know google services are best than any other networking so it should not be shut down for many reasons. Google Plus is important for us now a days and also useful for many of good activities on internet to increase the good productivity of everything related to Google Plus

I was using Google + until it shu down. The primary reasons why G+ failed was because it was not a new product but just a copy of facebook.
