Tech head through and through.

All we can do is try

We need to try and save our planet from pollution and global warming, but in 10 months time I won’t be posting about it here.

But we can try to change that by voting to keep G+. It may or may not work, but at least we can say we tried. Right?

    Thanks for starting this Alan, will share it widely. Seems such a shame to shut done such a large community. Been sad about it since I found out about it yesterday. Strange because there’s no other social media platform which does the same thing.

    Please don’t shut down Google plus. It’s the voice of technology enthusiast. Google technologist should make a work round any breach or a compromise. Thank you.

    In the spirit of “belt and suspenders” care, I suggest you make a mirror account and keep it up so that if Google + does go away, people will know where to move their own accounts to. I can’t believe that Alphabet is willing to take the monetary loss that closing G+ will cause since a lot of people will go elsewhere and the ad revenue will decline a lot.

    Meh…I’d like to see a revamp of Google Plus. I’ve been on here since the day it opened and always saw the potential of it…but for me and most other people, it sucks when you don’t have others to interact with. It’s always been a struggle to get people I know to use this platform. People tend to be sheep when it comes to social media, what’s trending etc. So, my suggestion is, I’d like to see the current iteration of Google Plus be transfomed into something that caters specifically to creators. I’ve wanted to utilize Google Plus as a way of creating a music album. I see that Photography is huge on here…I’d like to see things shift to include more for music artists. I recently came across a website called SoundTrap…which is an online Digital Audio Workstation. I think it would be awesome if Google developed something along those lines that catered to Film, Photography, Music…so on an so forth. Something along the lines of what Adobe does with their Suite. Anywho, I’m a fan of Google Plus, but I’ve never gained much traction here. The potential has always been here…an easier…more direct approach to things would be of benefit. I also think it this should be the hub for all Google products. A new name etc…yeah, I think people could get a lot out of that. Sooooo…in case anyone from Google reads this, please reach out to me…I’d love to spearhead this project!

    possibility is there but we have the challenge of those who are on the position, they are not keeping their rulers due to deforestation and these industrial processes which destroys our environment but we can if we can connect as one.
