Here Are The Reasons Why Google+ Failed!

google-plus-failed
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

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...

Climate Change Is Reshaping Arctic, And The Consequences Will Be Global

Many of us have never visited Arctic, but we often hear about it and that the climate change is radically reshaping it. It can be pretty hard to believe what’s happening in a distant land of polar bears, it doesn’t stop there. The changes, nature is bringing in Arctic, will have global- wide consequences.      It’s Changing Your Weather.  The scientific researches show that changes to the Arctic are leading to the changes in weather in the mid-latitudes. A warmer Arctic effects the stream of air high above us in the stratosphere that carries our weather.    If the Arctic warms faster as compared to the mid latitudes, the jet stream could slow down that leads to a persistence of intense weather conditions like intense snow, intense heat or intense rain. Changing What You Eat. The fishing industry has a direct negative effect of the warming oceans as Artic and sub-Arctic are a major source of its catch. While the less icy A...

The First Nation Of America Was Christian By Religion?

There is no doubt that the American Founding was a culmination of many different things, and it's just as clear that there is no black and white answer to the question of religion and the founding of America. There were several important ways in which the United States was founded as a Christian nation, and some significant ways in which it was not. Understanding all this takes a bit of unfolding, and the best place to start is by putting ourselves back in the minds and times of the Founders in the summer of 1787, when some of the greatest men in the nation were debating the future of the United States' government.
