Here Are The Reasons Why Google+ Failed!

By

Google gives up on pitching Google+ as a competitor of other social networks like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. The company announced that it’s changing up its strategy with Google+ that will become two separate pieces: Photos and Streams.

Tons of people use Google+ because logging into it gives user access to Gmail, Google Drive and many other Google apps, but they avoid using the social network facet of it.

Some insiders of Google interacted with a leading media group and told what happened to the network that was really important to Larry Page.

The main problem with Google+ is that the company tried too much to make it like Facebook, as told by a former Googler. The company was late to market and motivated from a competitive standpoint.

The source told that Google+ employees were sectioned off within Google to prevent gossip about the product from spreading and that was just a standard security measure taken.

Read on to know some other things that were disclosed by the former Google employees.

Google+ was designed to solve Google’s own problems rather than making it a social network to connect its users. Google+ connects you with all the Google products that was useful for company as they didn’t have to manage a ton of user profiles for its various apps. But it didn’t provide a social experience to users that they simply get from Facebook and LinkdeIn.

Google didn’t move into mobile fast enough with Google+. Google focused on high-resolution photos , which were great for desktop and Chrome book, but for mobiles it used to take for time on loading.

Google+ was a controversial product inside the company.

But it’s not surprising as Google is a large company with many employees and everyone has opinion on everything.

Vic Gundotra, who led Google+ and played a big role in creating it left the company a year ago. That was a big surprise for everyone as there was no succession plan.

Huawei Improved Loading Time Of Smartphone Battery

By
Huawei has developed by its own account, a new technology that allows to boost smartphone battery within ten minutes at 50 percent of their capacity. Overall, batteries should be charged approximately ten times faster than is currently standard.  The technology comes from the Huawei subsidiary Watt Lab. On the Battery Symposium in Japan they recently showed three different concepts. A 600 mAh battery for example reached within two minutes 68 percent of its capacity. Another current memory with 3000 mAh was charged after five minutes to 48 percent, which is rich with a Huawei smartphone for a talk time of ten hours. The quick charging is made possible by the addition of heteroatoms to the molecules of the graphite anode of the battery. They serve as a catalyst for the reception and transit of lithium by the carbon deposits. The heteroatoms shorten loud Huawei charging time, without lowering the energy density or the battery life. Currently Huawei subjects neither th...

Ello: The Exodus That Facebook Cannot Ignore

By
Yes, "exodus" is the right word here. If Facebook is the Pharoah's Egypt then Ello is the new promised land. And what exactly is being promised there? Anonymity, no ads, no commoditisation and many others claims Facebook cannot make anymore. Ello, a social networking site that started last year, is gaining momentum. The nitro-boost it needed came in the form of Facebook's rigid "real name only" stance. San Francisco, which has a large LGBTIQ community, did not welcome this move. Many drag queens and trans people took offense to the fact that their Facebook accounts were blocked because they were not using their legal names — something many people in the LGBTIQ community avoid, either for fear of being outed or because most of them do not identify with the gender and the name they were assigned at birth. Ello, on the other hand, was started by seven programmers and artists, who collectively believe that Facebook is not a social network anymore. It is mor...
