The director of the Google social network, Vic Gundotra, has left the giant Californian company, the reasons are not known exactly, since there are sources that affirm that it is due to the death of a close relative, and others, that it is due to the failure of Google+, it is also not confirmed if he is leaving of his own free will or if he has been fired.

In any case, what is clear is that the Google social network has not succeeded at all, and its high number of users is only due to the fact that they have forced us to have a profile on Google + with each Google service that we want to use, integrating the social network with the rest of Google services, something that users have not liked at all and has given more than one headache not to duplicate profiles on the network, etc.

The more than 1,000 Google + workers have already been relocated to other departments of the company, especially in the development of Android products and services.

According to reports from the company, for the moment, Google + does not die, it will continue to provide services, but with minimal resources, after all, for a social network that despite having participation, they do not need more than 1,000 people either managing or maintaining it It is also not worth adding or modifying functionalities, at least for the moment, because Google never stops thinking of new ways to penetrate users by offering them multiple services.

What will happen therefore with Google + and with the rest of its services such as Gmail or YouTube? It is to be expected that there will be some small changes, but we do not believe that the functionalities of the other platforms vary excessively, at least not due to this semi-abandonment of Google +, and we hope that it will cease to be mandatory every time you use a Google service with a new user registration, create a profile on the social network, yes, Google is very smart, and although the social network is dying, it will continue to serve to position in Google, so for our part, we will continue to perform the community manager service both for this, as for the rest of social networks.
