Google was not going to give them turn-by-turn and they didn't want to keep falling behind. The only choice was to pull off the band-aid, release an inferior service, and then improve it with the help of users.

Google managed to hire Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Dick Costolo, but couldn't produce a meaningful competitor to Twitter. Failure is a feature indeed.

Great app, not sure this will really help them take on Instagram, but could bring some strong photo editing features to G+ app on mobile. Maybe even into Android as whole?

Right now this looks very bad, but is nothing beyond poor timing. Of course the execs who could not cash out in the IPO wanted to sell their shares and be rewarded for going public. If and when evidence emerges that they knew the business w
