Anyone notice - or not notice - a change in commercial posts - like BBC?
Uh oh, writing on the wall - or actually,
absence of writing on the wall.
(I feel like a canary in a Coal mine watching the demolition begin in biG+ly earnest. Surreal)
I just noticed this...Think it's some kind of sign? My 3-column notebook display has of late been 2/3 BBC News stories - and just now there are none at all. Scrolling down I see nothing much (though I do see familiar friends and communities). Seems they have pulled their plug. Hm, maybe part of Brexit? ;)

I think you'll find that the BBC's G+ posts were simply automatic reshares of their YouTube posts Michael Fenichel ... and there was an announcement a while ago that all autosharing of YouTube posts to any other platform would be switched off this week.

Julie Wills Thank you for this. Perfect explanation. Though I am starting to think of their rationales - in this case, because people "like" more personal feeds - as more Facebook-evil than FB. The new Google.
ReplyDeleteBut it says also what I noticed earlier today, that it's still easy-as-pie to post - YT to G+ - (they refer generically to "social media"). Thanks, Google! Because our last 8 years of posts referring to profitable YouTube via G+ will now last only a few more weeks! But nice to know our posts from YT still work. SMH... Something is wrong with their form of altruism!
