Reason for shutdown: Google+ had a major security flaw that left hundreds of thousands of users' data exposed. Google did not disclose the flaw in the spring, and as a recourse will close it's doors on the social media platform. -
@jespersh Well, if they don't know you, they can only show you the crappy "trending" posts. Follow something interesting and it's okay.

lxmcf199576yI'll give google credit, the idea of Google+ was brilliant, so many people have a Google account why not give them a place to socialise.
BUT and this is a big but, the execution was bloody horrible, they tried to be Facebook rather than just be a social place for Google users, sad but glad to see it go. -
Orkut was v popular once in India and Brazil but they scrapped that off in favor of G+ which never got popular anywhere

@irene I'm not a fan of its UI. It felt too fluid with all the subtle animations in the UI.
@jespersh my home feed is full of porn spams / traps from accounts I never followed.
