Founded in June 2011, after 7 years, Googleplus social networking will be retiring 60 days from now. Google+ is the company’s fourth foray into social networking, following Google Buzz (launched 2010, retired in 2011), Google Friend Connect (launched 2008, retired by March 1, 2012).
You’ll recall back in December, Google announced that it would shut down Google + sometime in April due to low usage and Google’s wish to shift its resources towards something else.
Google has officially confirmed that it will end Google+ on April 2, 2019, and it will completely face out of social networking.
