Google + itself sucks, but the services they offer are extremely awesome if you have a Chromebook. Everything is intertwined nicely with it. A little button brings up your friends and you can chat and video chat at any point flawlessly, and you don't even need to go to Google + to do it. It's just always active, unless you sign off.

In my opinion they should focus more on that aspect and make it even better for Chromebooks. It could be the first true social product (instead of just network), then they could push it further with android too.

THAT would save Google + for me. Otherwise it can die. if I need to open a website or app, ill just use Facebook.

wow it only took them what 1-2 years to get the HINT THAT WE HATE IT!!!!

YEEESSSSSSHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
*Thinks of YouTube w/o Google BS for first time in almost 3 years* HGNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!

no, google still allow we to register and use google plus

TC writes a nonsensical article, and everyone believes it. *sighs* I hate to break this thing up with actual facts, but the bottom line is that Google+ isn't going anywhere. That bizarre article has been categorically denied by Google, every single product manager I know at Google who works on the platform has called it BS (and as a Google Top Contributor for G+, I pretty much know all of them and have met the majority in person), and Dave Bresbis, the guy replacing Vic, said since the very beginning that Google+ is Google.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Google+ is the social backbone behind each and every single one of Google's products and services, and will only become even more so in the future. Those people that have been working on G+ who are being moves to other products? That's why they're moving - to put people on the rest of the product teams that understand the G+ platform. The base has already been built, and now it's time to work on the rest.

Get a grip, people. I know you lot love to hate Google+, but at least come to grips with reality.

In Reality Google+ is much better than Facebook in terms of usability and simplicity, but since the fact that all our friends are on Facebook and everyone is too lazy to switch is what makes Facebook better than Google+ and guess it will stay the same for at least the coming 5 years. Though its a good thing that Google will stop forcing users to sign up for Google+.

I may shed a tear over this news. On second thought, I'm not that sad.
