On Social Media

Google+ was not perfect , at least it wasn't in 2017 when this was first posted. As we move on, remembering G+ as the best of social media, we should also be aware that we who loved G+ were not reluctant to critique the platform! Originally shared by Jean-Loup Rebours-Smith Some thoughts on the current state of Google+ (and why it's not too late to fix things) I've been doing this a couple of times in the past and seeing how there are a few users recently who seems to have blown off the lid of the steamer with their frustrations about G+, I thought I would offer some thoughts of my own with trying to put an emphasis on what I think could work to improve things. Also before anyone points this out to me, much of what I'm going to outline is currently worked on in one form or another.
