More liek Google doesn't have a vision so they're trying to make G+ a catch all. Let's clone every service and hope it works.

Haha, that's the reasoning google when they rolled out g+ and that worked out great for them.

Oh great, another Google+ wannabe.

Might be because g+ is being turned off soon. Enjoy the spoils while you still can.

What can't you do without Google+?

Can we stop claiming that Google+ can absolutely not be usefully implemented in other Google products?

Requires Google+, no thanks. Would have used it if it wasn't for Google.

Changing your online life just to use Google+ is not worth it, is it?

Hey Google I don't want everything in Google+

Google plus didn’t do anything significantly better than Facebook
