I agree. I was really referring to G+ being even a remote competitor to FB, which it never was. It is definitely a loss to see it go, but not unexpected.
- mcv 8y agoThey shouldn't have tried to make it defeat FB. They should have let it be its own thing. For a while, Google+ was far superior to Facebook or Twitter, even if less people were using it. They should have stuck with that.
