    That’s not fair to Google+.

    I actually liked that platform over Facebook.

    It’s a shame they had to cram it down people’s throat. It would’ve been a fantastic alternative to Facebook. I especially liked it’s friend organization feature with circles.

      I always thought the whole circles concept was genius, and it annoys me that nobody has tried to replicate it.

      It was really much better than fb and other platforms, really easy to group and filter content on it.

      I just hated their forced integration with YouTube comments section which only served to artificially pump up the number of G+ users. Great platform, bad management decisions.

        They only did that AFTER releasing it as a walled garden that people had to jump through a bunch of hoops to join.
