Closure of Google+

  • ย Google+ will be shut down for goodย on 2 April, with all profiles and pages to be deleted on that day.
  • The deletion does not affect other Google services. Photos and videos stored in Google Photos, will not be affected. Your Google account, which is linked to services such as Gmail, YouTube and Maps, will continue to work, but your Google+ account, which was only used for the social network, will be deleted.

Why is Google doing this?

The companyโ€™s official explanation is that it decided to shutter the site โ€œdue to low usage and challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumersโ€™ expectationsโ€.

Perhaps those โ€œchallengesโ€ largely relate to a data leak in the social network that it discovered in March 2018 but did not disclose for six months.

That leak โ€œpotentially affected up to 500,000 accountsโ€, allowing third-party applications to access information marked as private, although Google said it had found โ€œno evidence that any profile data was misusedโ€.

The company had initially planned to shut the social network down in August this year, but in November it discovered another bug that gave apps access to non-public information, and brought forward the shutdown to April.

Unit Converter

Hey !! here’s another one – simple unit converter.ย 

I have made this with the primary motive of showcasing the use of virtual function and abstract classes. And, also how to create objects inside switch statements.

This is of great knowledge if any beginner wants to understand some basic concepts in C++, because this whole coding is written purely in C++ only.

Google employees doubt CEO Sundar Pichaiโ€™s vision

According to a report by The Bloomberg, a recently conducted survey by Google called Googlegeist suggests that when questioned about the confidence the employees have in CEO Sundar Pichai, 74% responded yes, which has dipped from 92% of last yearโ€™s survey.

A similar decline in affirmative answers was seen when employees were asked about the work satisfaction and compensation paid to them, and more, with 54% responding in favor of Google as opposed to the 64% seen in 2018.

The figures aren’t too concerning but Google needs to look into the declining number and figure out solutions to gain back the goodwill of its employees.
