The difference is that Google+ was actually a wonderful product.

But a couple years down the line Google did what Google does and destroyed it from the inside making it worse and worse until it was just a shell of what it started out being.

If you were into tech, the tech people were amazing. Yonatan Zunger comes to mind. He was a backend engineer at Google and the guy was great.

I also met many people who are still friends, many of whom became real life friends too.

I even got an amazing job thanks to my contacts on g+.

The feed layout was awesome. The fact that everything got fed to rss. The fact that you could tailor posts so easily. God I miss it. Only social media I've ever really been a part of.

It was wonderful ♥️

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that your experience isn't valid, I am merely providing a counterpoint based upon my own experience.

Also basically every Linux big name posted there. It was so great. I'm still sad it's gone

A wonderful product or a wonderful community? It sounds like you're describing the people who were on it and not the platform itself.

[-] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 1 points 6 months ago

The platform was wonderful. Intuitive, powerful, everything every other platform was not. Google started killing it slowly long before it died, but in its heyday it was amazing.

I have to admit I mostly only used it for testing purposes. I worked on a product that integrated with it, and I remember it being frustrating to work with. I forget the details of what frustrated me about it, though.

Google did what Google does

I remember wrapping my head around "Google Wave" and being like "Hey that sounds nea--oh it's gone already?"

Dude for real. Wave was awesome.
