GOOGLE PLUS NOW A CHOICE

With Google+ Photos shutting down, and Google Photos taking over, Google made another major announcement about its social network, Google+. Google announced that your Google profile will no longer be your identity in all its products. Up until now, Google made it compulsory to have a Google+ account to access most of its products thereby making the underperforming social network have an inflated number of users.

This change will be trickling out “In the coming months,” and the first product to enjoy the change will be the one that was most negatively impacted by Google’s Google+ obsession: YouTube.

Bradley Horowitz, Google’s vice president of Streams, Photos, and Sharing, says the changes area  response to user feedback: “We’ve also heard that it doesn’t make sense for your Google+ profile to be your identity in all the other Google products you use.” He announced that a basic Google account will be all users need to share content, communicate with contacts, create a Youtube channel and so on. Unlike your public Google+ profile, your Google account is not searchable or followable.

In fact, if you already created a Google+ profile but don’t plan to use Google+, the company says it will “offer better options for managing and removing” your public profile. Horowitz says the changes are meant to strike a balance between the select few who actually like Google+, and everyone else who Google forced to sign up for its social network.

GOOGLE+ PHOTOS SHUTTING DOWN

Google announced on the July 21^st, 2015, it’s plan to shut down its Google+ Photos service after the launch of Google Photos back in May.

 “In an effort to ensure everyone has the best photos experience” it can deliver, Google will be shutting down Google+ Photos starting on August 1^st, 2015. The Android app will be the first to go, and then the Web service and the iOS will follow.

No need to panic as your photos and videos will still be available through Google photos – simply download the new app or visit the Google Photos website to make the simple switch yourself. If Google Photos isn’t your cup of tea and you’d like to move your photos elsewhere, the company also reminds you that you can export all your content from the service using Google Takeout.

Following the acquisition of Picasa in 2004, offering photo storage through Picasa Web Albums, it was rumoured in 2011 that Google would rename the service “Google Photos” and offer unlimited storage.

Two years later, Google did make a big switch, but instead of launching Google Photos, it switched its online photo services over to Google+ Photos.

It took two more years, but Google finally did launch Google Photos and its unlimited storage (with resolution limits) in May 2015. If the original rumours back in 2011 were true, then switch from Picasa Web Albums to Google Photos was a trip that took four years and a detour through Google+ Photos.

Lenovo has taken a giant step in winning the hearts of those that want to get a budget priced phone with high specifications.

With the recent release of the A6000 and A5000, I believe they would be hitting the market really big with that. When they got into the Nigerian market a few years back, I can remember telling my friends that it was just a matter of time before we all fall in love with the Lenovo phones and considering the unique design and feel of their phones, I think I might as well be fit to be called a soothsayer. Looking at the rate of advertisement of this two devices, I am pretty sure that Lenovo got them really stuck with pretty much mouth watering features.

Join me as I take a trip down the world of the A6000 and I must warn the journey might be bumpy.
