Google+ has been my online home for years. This is a must read for anyone who has made strong connections and exchanged ideas here.

The Fall of Google
I am very sad to write this, but Google's failure of leadership on Google+ is a complete disaster. The utter disregard for end users is shocking.
I hope that business cases will be written about Google+ in the future to illustrate what happens when businesses lose sight of the fact that end users still needed to be treated with the same respect accorded to paying customers.
I hope, too, that people will take a lesson from this service and the tremendous loss of human capital that it represents, to reassess how willing we are to trust our creations and our relationships to large corporations.

Zara Altair I feel like we should plan a wake. With coffee and chocolate and baked goodies from you. #thegriefisreal
ReplyDeleteThanks, Zara Altair. It's hard seeing the dwindling stream here too. Like a light flickering out.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Mary Stovall, I wonder what a world-wide-wake would feel like...
Gideon Rosenblatt I believe it would be awesome - to celebrate all and the path we traveled together. (And to work through the grief).
ReplyDeleteSo much time & genius evaporated.
