The sunset of a great network

The sunset of a great network

The consumer version of Google+ will be discontinued in August 2019. So all communities, collections, posts, comments, and memberships will be deleted.

Google has long used the phrase “Don’t be evil” as a company slogan, including it in the founder’s letter for its IPO in 2004, and at the top of its Code of Conduct.

Alphabet has exchanged that by “Do the right thing”
follow the law, act honorably, and treat each other with respect.

Killing Google+ is a contradiction to the new slogan.

Where to go now?

I still hope Google will change its mind but its unlikely that the consumer version will ever come back.

So here’s more about the Google+ alternative. It’s MeWe, a content network which concept is near to Google+. Mark Weinstein, CEO of MeWe, and Jason Hardy, product manager, are working hard to make MeWe the new home for disappointed G+ users.


You can see how MeWe works by joining my group ‘Apple iThings’
https://mewe.com/join/apple-ithings
even if you’re an Android user just to see the different options you have to create a group (which is similar to a G+ community), see the chat which is assigned to a group (not possible on G+), and see posts with just images, links to websites, and self-created posts with textual content.
