jul 17, 2015 - Google Loosens Ties to Google Plus

Description:

"Google said it would move features once integrated into Google Plus out of the social network and into other Google services."

"But Google’s decision to dismantle Google Plus may have less to do with appeasing users’ anger than with meeting the demand of mobile phone owners, who expect apps for each individual service."

“Today’s news surrounding the upcoming changing to Google+ could be seen as cause for concern,” Derek Ross, an Android enthusiast with 1.2 million followers on Google Plus, said in an email. “But myself and many other users of the platform aren’t concerned for the future of Google+.”
