I just noticed something interesting.
I am convinced that the way that Google will dive into the future of social media is by serving as a profile repository. A needed element for the future that I see developing. This finding further cemented that belief.
Besides the G+ identity, we all have an “About me” identify in the site.
If you go to any surviving community that had non-GSuite users, click in the user list (they are all still there) and click on a member profile, you will see their “About me” page.
Some of them have granted public access to their list of internet addresses.

Building a Profile Repository was ~70% of the point of Google+ in the first place. They just rebranded that unified account system back to Google Account, dropping the Plus and Plus-specific elements, so it can and will be used across Google services.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Photos, for example, uses Google account connections (e.g. between people who have emailed each other through Gmail and have Google accounts) to suggest people to share-in with (i.e. the sharing and social aspects take place entirely within the app; you can also share-out with photos, to be sure).
