Last year, Google <\/a> launched<\/a> the beta of Currents<\/a>, which was essentially a rebrand of Google+ for G Suite users, since Google+ for consumers went to meet its maker in April 2019. While Google+ was meant to be an all-purpose social network, the idea behind Currents is more akin to what Microsoft is doing with Yammer or Facebook with Workplace. It\u2019s meant to give employees a forum for internal discussions and announcements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To complicate matters, Google kept Google+ around, even after the launch of Currents, but in an email to G Suite admins, it has now announced that Google+ for G Suite will close its doors on July 6, after which there will be no way to opt out of Currents or revert back to Google+.<\/p>\n

And with that, Google has driven the final nail into Google+\u2019s coffin. The Google+ mobile apps will be automatically updated to Currents. All existing links to Google+ will redirect to Currents.<\/p>\n

Going forward, Google+ will only live on as a hazy memory<\/a>, filled with circles<\/a> of friends, all of which were forced to use their real name (at least at the beginning), +1 buttons everywhere<\/a>, sparks<\/a> and the promise of fun games, ripples<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n

Currents is all business \u2014 and while I\u2019m not aware of a lot of companies that use it, it looks to be a solid option for companies that would otherwise use the Yammer\/Teams <\/a> combination in the Microsoft ecosystem. Now, I guess, we can start the countdown before Google launches another social network.<\/p>\n
