Remember when orkut and google+ were big?
Posted by on August 30, 2024 at 7:45 amDo you remember when Orkut and Google+ were the big names in social media? These platforms once had their moment in the spotlight, connecting millions of users. Orkut was a pioneer in online communities, while google+ tried to change the social media landscape. But today, they’ve both faded away.
What other platforms can you think of that were once huge but are now pretty much gone? Let’s take a trip down memory lane and discuss!

Was Google+ ever actually used by anyone?
-
G+ was never huge,the hype died down within a week.

AS others have said, there was never a time where G+ was a big name in social media. It had a niche following at best.
-
I’ve never heard of Orkut and Google+ never even took off. So no, neither were ever “big.”
-
I don’t even remind the first word, but yeah, I’ve had a google+ account at the time

Clubhouse. I think Threads will go the same way sooner or later.

Remember Google Wave?
-
Hike and WeChat were starting to get popular in India due to constant advertising but the hype died down real quick and people just stuck to WhatsApp.

Google+ activity was not organic. They forced every marketer to post on Google+ because they’d prioritize businesses and site pages with Google+ pages and posts in search rankings. I always felt like we were just appeasing the Google SEO gods and yelling into the abyss, because not a soul interacted with those posts. Personally I only saw 1 account that had any real activity, and they already had a very popular blog.
I also remember LINE, which is very popular in Asia but is pretty uncommon in America. I had a few friends on it and I thought it’s fun, but we grew apart so I don’t have anyone to use LINE with now.

No, Google+ was never big.

Google+ was never big. Unless they were selling it to you or you worked for them in which case you were likely brainwashed
