Yeah that was 5 months ago, but the comment section is simply fine to me, cos adding a chat box will be distracting

The word fail is actually a big word.

Among the numerous reason why i love Google Plus, it's not a failure cos i have a couple of follows there who deem it fit to visit my blog.

But never the less what's your own opinion? Did Google Plus fail?

Between Google and Facebook, I do not know which one is more intrusive. They want to sync all your data, even your blood group. Bikonu, e don do!

Sorry but Google has lost the battle before the fight even begins.

But is Allo available yet?

Even Googled Duo is yet to become widely used. Once I get Allo, I will uninstall both Whatsapp and Imo. Anyone that needs to talk to me must install it. The
