Sharing is caring

Let's try sharing from Google+ a different way. The method this time was to open the linked article in Chrome and use the browser's sharing function. This again only shares a link but at least it's not a dead link walking. The other disadvantage is losing the commentary from the Plusser from whom I found the article, in this case Mitch Wagner, one of a few individuals I'll want to keep following after Google+ shuts down. There's really no good migration path here and it's a major failing on Google's part.

About Me

Google+ is shutting down and the Help community on Google+ is just endless September about it. Owing to that shutdown I've decided to migrate back here to Blogger. This requires a bit of cleaning up as Plus features are deprecated and removed. It might not be going smoothly on Google's part. As you can see in the right column there lives an "About Me" as a profile gadget. The links there, however, are pointing to Google+ and not staying on Blogger or my comprehensive Google account profile page.

Trying Something New

I'm trying something new regarding the impending Google+ shutdown and that is to share to Blogger and use Blogger's labels to reproduce my Plus collections. I can already see where this is going to fail because the share is a link back to Plus, which means is will disappear in April. Oh well.
