Normally I don't share links that have been shared a gazillion times over, but I wanted to make a point.

I wonder which tech writers are going to claim Google (no plus) is dead?

I mean, Hangouts and Photos are decoupled from G+ and YouTube comments get their own system back which naturally means Google+ is being abandoned.

So, Larry Page says the entire company is restructuring which, by tech writer logic, means Google is dying ... right?

Nobody knows the future of Streams (aka Google+) except for Alphabet.

Terris Linenbach You're wrong. Android and YouTube along with other products will stay under Google.

Google = Web. 17 years ago web equaled search. But the Web is much more now.

The entire Web and advertising business will still be under the Google name. And Google+ is yet one more search function and advertising data point for Google. It's not going anywhere.

Nick McIntosh, I was taking a pot shot at tech writers.

I know. I was agreeing with you in a roundabout way. Rereading my comment, that wasn't obvious. Sorry about that.

Just looked at the Alphabet intro...I see where you're coming from, Jason ON​, but I think too early to tell.

Terris Linenbach You're missing the point. Android is ads on mobile. Google is in the business of ads. Duh.

A is for Android, where you talk to your friends,
B is for Beta, which never really ends...

Chris Phenomenal Hey buddy... YouTube already has it's own CEO and will be under Alphabet, no longer Google. Nice try though. 

Here's some food for thought... M is for Maps ... D is for Drive (or docs)

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
