Google kills Orkut social network
This social network will officially shut down on September 30, then users will not be able to log in or export their photo album to Google+.
Google has officially announced plans to close Orkut social networking service on September 30. This is not surprising when Google wants to boost its focus on the ambitious Google+ replacement service, which is connected to its various products.
According to Google, starting today users will not be able to create new accounts on Orkut, but existing users can still access the service as usual. However, Google said it will have a period of 3 months to perform the process of moving data to Google+. To do so, they can use Google Takeout tool, which allows exporting profile data, articles and images.
In addition, the Orkut application will also be removed from Google Play and the App Store after the announcement is made.
Orkut social networking service has been around for a decade, so Google wants to protect all the data that users store on it. The development of Orkut is made by Google to help people switch to another social network like Google+ better, allowing chat and other interesting features.
According to Google , the company will focus its efforts on YouTube, Blogger and Google+ . Earlier, at Google I / O 2014, the company also confirmed that it is developing a lot of new features for Google+, including a new image editor, Auto-Awesome effect and a photo album called Google+ Stories.
