Google because it's hard to believe it

Yesterday, Google recognized that it had suffered a security breach and had not mentioned it to anyone because it was not legally bound. It also announced the upcoming closure of its Google+ social network.

It is almost the same story as Google's promise: do not evil, and her persistence Let's trust her to make a better world. Google

What happened; Has the company been "ruined" by money and power? Or was Google never what it used to be?

Yesterday's publication at blog of the company by vice president of engineering Ben Smith. Reported for Google+:

While our engineering teams have put a lot of effort and dedication into building Google+ over the years, it has not achieved widespread adoption by consumers or developers, and there is very limited user interaction with apps. The consumer version of Google+ has very low usage: 90% of the time The user's time on Google+ is less than five seconds.

In essence, Google+ has always been a desert. However, every time we heard news from Google's PR and its executives, they insisted they were a dynamic product that developed and enjoyed spectacular adoption.

You know, like the ones Google Glass.

2011, when Google + was released, was clear that it was fighting for a share in the social network pie. At that time, Google+ executive in charge, Vic Gundotra, said:

You all know the truth. The momentum here is crazy. Unlike anything I've seen in 25 years of software development. Here's to 2012, and here's to Google+. Rock on

This is not to say that Google is worse than any other company s. We mention the above because the company claims to care about its customers, reports consistent success and amazing products. Of course, it's not uncommon for an advertising agency to be bad at promoting itself.

Think of another famous advertising company, Facebook, which seems to be struggling to make its mark every week.
