Google+ accounts and pages will be shut down April 2nd, says Google

BoingBoing:

Google announced last fall it’s killing off Google+ because of the social network’s laughably “low usage” and “challenges involved in maintaining a successful product that meets consumers’ expectations,” plus revelations of serious security vulnerabilities.

In a blog post and related support page that went live today, Google explained how the shutdown will unfold, and the important part for most ‘consumer’ users is this: they’re gonna delete all your posts, photos, videos, and comments, starting on April 2.

You’ve only got a couple of months to get your data off of Google+. Shouldn’t take more than a few minutes though.
