Lol most people didn't even know it was stil running, it become a forgotten google product and those who still used it made it there own. I still used it because you could keep in touch with SEO's and other Google communities like paid search marketers or display marketers. So it was more in a proffesional sense, will probably migrate those relationships to Linkedin

I suppose so, it was kind of a waste of resources and something Google clearly wants to move on from as it foucses on dominating search its also begun to add social elements into it like Google Posts and Google Cameos
