Wartime Google gave us Google+. Wartime Google is still bumbling, and despite OpenAI's numerous missteps, I don't think it has to worry about Google hurting its business yet.
- NikolaNovak 8mo agoI do miss Google+. For my brain / use case, it was by far the best social network out there, and the Circle friends and interest management system is still unparalleled :)
- blinding-streak 8mo agoGoogle+ was fun. Failed in the market though. Apple made a social network called Ping. Disaster. MobileMe was silly. Microsoft made Zune and the Kin 1 and Kin 2 devices and Windows phone and all sorts of other disasters. These things happen.
- Peaches4Rent 8mo agoI have a hypothesis that Google+ just wasn't addictive. Which is a good thing now, but not back then
- machiaweliczny 8mo agoWindows Phone was actually good. I would even say that my Lumia something was one of best experiences ever on mobile. G+ was also good. Efficient markets mean that you can "extract" rent, via selling data or attention etc. not realy what is good
