As a shareholder of Google, it's encouraging for me to see that Google shuts down products that didn't work out really really fast (Nexus Q and now Google+ Games).
- glomph 13y agoIf only they shut down g+ as fast! :p
- pacomerh 13y agohehe, yeah, Google+ is working, but in a strange way
- mindcrime 13y agoFWIW, I generally find that the majority of referral traffic to the Fogbeam Blog is from Reddit, with Hacker News and/or Twitter next, possibly Slashdot if we got something on there, and then G+ and "everybody else". Until a week or so ago... for the first time, I noticed some posts that we put up where we got more traffic from G+ than from Twitter. Yeah, it's just one anecdote, and there are all sorts of possible reasons, but it definitely appears that G+ has it's niche in some regards. It might not ever displace Facebook as the main 'generic' social network, but it's no tumbleweed filled wasteland like some people would lead one to believe.
- michaelochurch 13y agoG+ Games would have worked if they had listened to the right people.
- DanBC 13y agoThere are plenty of fantastic ideas, worked on by smart people, at good companies, that fail. Maybe G+ Games would have been good if Google had listened to the right people, but we don't know that, eh? I know that I'm probably reading too much into some of your Google posts, but they make me sad. I hope you manage to find something (peace? comfort?) and move on. Like I say, I'm probably mis-reading your posts and maybe I'm talking nonsense.
