      As a Brazilian, this is not the perception I had. I stayed until it migrated to G+ and then shut and none of my contacts were ever online and barely any community I followed had any kind of movement, I’d say that the great majority of people had already left for Facebook

        This was in great part because we felt there was already an abandonment of the network. No updates and less money, with google already focusing on an alternative. Of course people would use it less.

        And the news point to it decreasing but being the third biggest. A little investment would have made it grow. It’s like what’s happening on reddit with the CEO murdering the site.

        You know twitter barely gets on the top 10 today, and even so it’s considered very big.
