Is there anything to be said for relaunching Google Plus?
@IanMoore3000 Would love to see it back.
Shame that it died (just like what seems to be every Google project these days)
But Vic Gundotra was brilliant running it at the time.
@IanMoore3000 I miss Google Wave, bloody loved that I did
@mattymedlyn we barely got to know Google Wave... 
@mattymedlyn @IanMoore3000 Google wave was the best online rpg platform and I'll always miss it for that
@IanMoore3000 I miss it
it was great for sharing great big pictures, no ads, lots of white space.
I think they killed it because they saw the moderation issue coming down the tracks.
But AI might be able to address that now.
@alisca I could be wrong but I think they killed it because no one was using it. They fluffed the launch with a badly thought through application of the real name policy and the platform never recovered after that.
@IanMoore3000 I think the real name policy was related to the moderation issue. They could see (possibly from yt efforts) how moderation swamps you; it becomes the biggest part of the effort and it grows as a multiple of the site's growth. The real name policy was a messed up way of trying to address it. Good idea, reasonable, terrible deployment
@IanMoore3000 no but Reader should definitely rise from the grave.
@IanMoore3000 I used Google Plus extensively. It was the online place for role-players and indie game designers at the time. Bring back Plus and Reader, I'd say, but no one would listen.
