    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 ♥️
