FUQ Google+ Sunset
With 49 days till G+ Sunset and 23 days till the G+API Sunset, I wonder if it's time for a "FUQ Google+ Sunset" file. As in Frequently Unanswered Questions for Google relating to the G+ sunset.
- When will Takeout for G+ stop working?
- Will there be a public profile display of AboutMe information?
- How will the AboutMe privacy controls work after G+ Circles disappear?
- Will any more fields disappear from AboutMe?
- Will the numeric Profile URLs be redirected to something useful?
- What will happen to the Circles display in Google Contacts?
- Is there any point or need to import Takeout.G+Circles into Google Contacts?
- Should I download Takeout.Profile?
- Where is the documentation of the schema used in the JSON versions of Takeout for G+ ?
- When in March will Public Community, Owners and Moderators, start getting full content in their Community Takeout?
- What's the simplest possible way and Google recommended procedure to get photos out of "G+Photos from posts" and into Google Photos?
- Will the regular People API (not the G+ People API) be affected by the shutdown?
- How will Android users manage their Brand Accounts after shutdown? https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7001996?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en still mentions the G+ app for that.
Can you add to this list? I should note that some of these have been posted in this community and G+Help, and I have received partial answers or been told they will be investigated. But as far as I know there hasn't been any answer in official announcements, FAQs or support posts from Google.

Sorry I had to say it but my first thought was: FUQK Google for handling the situation in a such frustrating way.
ReplyDeleteOne I never expect an answer for: why is Google so slow with providing answers to their users?
ReplyDeleteWhere are David Thacker, Ben Smith, Dave Bresbis, Bradley Horowitz, Joseph Smarr? Why hasn't Sundar Pichai made any comment about it at all? Come to think of it, Where is Vic Gundotra?

ReplyDeleteFun as this chat is, the real reason for the post here is to find out if anyone has any other FUQs as I have no more FUQs to give.
