    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.

        Funny that Blue Sky just did that same old thing. Launched like a VIP club with a limited guest list. Even though that tactic hasn’t really worked well for most people since the 00’s.

          also - blue sky was eating glue while twitter was falling and lost a lot of attention to threads
