As some of you may know, Google is shutting down Google+, effective April 2 (I suppose they wanted to avoid an April Fool's Day joke by shuttering it a day earlier).
It means those who have blogs on Google's Blogspot will be losing some of their followers (134 for me). So when I post something after April 2, my loyal followers will not receive any notification.
So, Google has this recommendation: "Between now and the shutdown, we recommend you let your followers know where they can see your content outside of Google+. Consider creating a post that lists your website, blog, social media channels, and other ways to stay in touch."
During the next few weeks, I'll download links to my page that you can click if you want to remain a follower of my blog. And I'll do likewise on your blog if you notify me. I do have a "follow" button on the right column of my page that you should be able to use.
I know this is an inconvenience, for you and me, but that's the way the Internet seems to work. Just when you think something is working right, developers make changes or kill it. Does anyone use MySpace anymore?
Anyway, here's an article on what Google+ users can do between now and the "sunset" of the app.
Until the next time (if there is one) . . .

I've got a bunch of gmail accounts and I've never used google+. I didn't know anyone else who did, so this doesn't come as any surprise to me.
ReplyDeleteApparently there are lots of folks like you who didn't know it existed. I guess it won't be missed except for a few. I recall one time I saw there were 50 million members. That seems like a lot until you realize that Facebook tops 1 billion.
