Google Finally Shutting Google+ Down
I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, I don't know of anyone that ever used this Facebook wannabe.

Now that they've been caught with their pants down in a massive data breach that has gone unannounced for a couple years, Google is finally pulling the plug:

Google is shutting down Google+ following massive data exposure - The company has admitted that user engagement on the service was low.

At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw and half a hundred other places, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind."

I used it when it was new and liked it better than Facebook. But the only other person I knew who used it was my brother. It had its advantages but I stopped using it pretty quickly.
