>Remember Google+? Who lead that initiative? What a travesty that was. Outside of Gmail, Google's UIs really do suck. I don't think that was an issue with the UI. Their UI was quite nice and the overall UX was too. Thing was they started by driving up hype, then letting a lot of people in but not everyone. Those lots left because it didn't have the main drive of a social media platform. Users. Their friends weren't allowed in yet. And then more people were let in who left. And then everyone. A horrid way to launch.

> Their UI was quite nice and the overall UX was too. No their UI sucked. One third of the page was occupied by a stupid header you couldn't even reduce or remove with a CSS hack. I hated it. Fortunately now, most websites doing that tend to disappear. Also, the content of the page itself was 1/3 wide, which is ridiculous when one is trying to read a long blog post. The Google+ was a disaster UI wise, I would not be surprised it highly contributed to its demise.

I must have missed that because I don't remember seeing it. >Also, the content of the page itself was 1/3 wide, which is ridiculous when one is trying to read a long blog post. Which would be much wider than the actual content on it's main competitor facebook.
