Failure of Communication: No mention of imminent Google+ shutdown on G+ About or App pages

Failure of Communication: No mention of imminent Google+ shutdown on G+ About or App pages

Google’s failures of communication on the G+ shutdown are staggering. Crickets, after initially promising:

Over the coming months, we will provide consumers with additional information, including ways they can download and migrate their data._technology

And on December 12, 2018:

over the coming months we will provide users with information to help them migrate off of G+.

This extends to the Google+ About page and Google+ App page in the Android store.

Here’s today’s Internet Archive grab of the Google+ About page. “Discover amazing things.”

But not a mention that the service will be shut down in 111 days.

Here’s today’s Internet Archive grab of the G+ App on the Android store.

Though we’ve got to give Jerome Williams props for his one-star review:

Do not waste your money on this game, it is not what it used to be. At one point, this game use to be very active with frequent updates, new content, and events. Now it rarely gets new content and when it does, it’s just old content that has been recolored. The one moderator that keeps the game running, only makes decisions that will benefit Spacetime Studios rather than the community it has built. Not to mention, the extreme unprofessionalism with the way he communicates with the community.

Terrible gameplay, indeed.

Though we’ll note another metric of G+ uptake: 5.5 million downloads.

    That user clearly hasn't been on popular communities or followed discussions on posts from active users...
