    They would have had to make severe changes for Google+ to be competitive with Twitter and Threads. It was terrible.

        They had a few ideas here and there that were okay, but the way it was put together as a whole was just crap. The community was crap too. I used it for a while, hoping engagement might drive some traffic to my silly YouTube videos, but there was nothing to engage with. Just endless memes and spam.

          Twitter’s Circles function much the same as Google+’s did. It was a really great feature. Seems like it’s on Twitter’s chopping block now.

        Xoogler here, I was at the TGIF where they launched G+ (at that time “emerald sea”) internally.

        They literally showed the SNL Taco Town sketch to us as part of their prezo like it was a good thing.
