Google+ Can Be Saved I've been thinking, there are two ways Google+ can stay alive rather than put out of its misery 1) Sell Google+ to some entrepreneur and Google make money out of the sell, or... 2) Separate Google+ from Google search co. and kept it as a separate self-sufficient company as part of the many other companies portfolio that Alphabet Inc. owns, and no longer share any data with Google. Now, for both of these scenarios to work Google+ name must change, a no-brainer on that. But it also means it has to be heavily advertised to make money to stay afloat, now that Google can't help keep it afloat Now I know getting advertisements in your streams may be a deal breaker for some but it is the only way G+ can self-sufficiently survive on its own separate from Google. But Google, if they really wanted to, could save Google plus if they wanted. Google+ won't shut down 10 months from now. Who knows, a lot can happen now till then
