They had a few ideas here and there that were okay, but the way it was put together as a whole was just crap. The community was crap too. I used it for a while, hoping engagement might drive some traffic to my silly YouTube videos, but there was nothing to engage with. Just endless memes and spam.

Worse. So much worse.
It was like the dictionary definition of designed by committee.
Xoogler here, I was at the TGIF where they launched G+ (at that time “emerald sea”) internally.
They literally showed the SNL Taco Town sketch to us as part of their prezo like it was a good thing.
The no ads thing was pretty nice. And their photography community was pretty fantastic.
