Are you still using Google Plus?
Google is throwing in the towel on Google Plus with an official shutdown date of 2 April 2019. The GPWA will be removing the +1 button from its member directory, and we also have a Google Plus page that we will stop supporting and no longer link to. So this week we ask if you are still using Google Plus. Besides voting in the poll, be sure to share your thoughts in a post, as well.
