Goodbye, Google+: A eulogy for the last great social network
(Read my column: https://goo.gl/VpmzYS)
Here’s my long-promised eulogy for Google+, where I argue that Google+ really started dying in 2014.
I hope you agree with everything I wrote here, and would love to hear your thoughts on it in the comments.

I’m good… shocked to lose one of my favorite places… even if just a virtual one… thankful for all the great connections i made and wondering how many of them will endure all that and what will part.
Guess the circle of life… 😉

Carole Mercédès it will change with the upcoming migration of plussers. They will bring the G+ culture and things will change. We even plan to improve the UI to make it more G+ like.

Will Friends+Me still work for G Suite G+ers? There wasn’t a close down of the API announced, was it?
