The end of a short excursion in which Google wanted to compete with Facebook. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>A Google+ user of the very beginning<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/vg06.met.vgwort.de\/na\/34beb53e90ff4bd0ac58c71c81cf1453\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">I myself was a Google+ user from the very beginning, when access was by invitation only. My idea: to establish a counterweight to Facebook, where I have an account as a blogger. At the beginning it was still quiet, but soon Google+ established itself for me as a contact exchange for tech enthusiasts and as a place where I often found interesting information on IT topics. <\/p>\n<p>Google+ also had a Microsoft group with almost 200,000 members. However, the group suffered from SPAM at the end. I got a moderator role (I guess from Microsoft), but ended, that I couldn't see my own posts in the group anymore (I just could delete SPAM). After a complaint on my part the role of administrator was gone again sometime &#8211; and I had access to my posts again. Something was wrong with the role assignment on Google+. <\/p>\n<p>After Google noticed security issues within social network, the gigant announced the end of Google+ for August 2019. Later, the end was set to April 2019.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<h2>I have moved to Mewe.com<\/h2>\n<p>Last year I asked myself the question, what are you doing now? With Facebook, Xing and Twitter, I do have social media channels. But I've decided to create another <a href=\"http:\/\/mewe.com\/i\/gunterborn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">account on the social network mewe.com<\/a>. mewe.com is the <a href=\"https:\/\/mewe.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">next generation social network<\/a> where the content can be safely shared and belongs to the users (not the operator). <\/p>\n<p>I imported my Google+ postings into my mewe profile (but it's difficult to find the content &#8211; mewe.com still has its shortcomings). At the same time I created some groups in this social network: <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mewe.com\/join\/microsoft3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft<\/a> (Englisch)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mewe.com\/join\/allaboutcomputertechnology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">All about Computer Technology<\/a> (Englisch)<\/p>\n<p>where I posts regulary. I am particularly interested in the Microsoft Group, where are now more than 50 members and each member can post there also contributions. I will see if we can bring the group to 'fly'. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The social network Google+ has been history since yesterday, when public user accounts were deleted on April 2, 2019.
