Are The Signs Pointing to Google+’s Demise?

08.06.2014 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

As much as I liked the concept of Google+ (or is it Google Plus? There still seems to be no consensus), I can’t say I’ve used it a ton. When it launched three years ago, I was among the many who had high hopes for the platform, wishing it would replace Facebook. When that didn’t […]

Will Google’s Version of Sponsored Stories be The End of Google+?

10.14.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

The other morning I was reading the Washington Post (yes, I subscribe to and read the paper almost every day) and noticed the headline “Google will put users into online ads.” Hm. Apparently Google plans to go the way of Facebook’s “sponsored stories,” putting users’ comments and photos into online ads for products and services […]

Why You Shouldn’t Use Google Chrome With Squarespace

08.07.2013 by Maggie McGary // 1 Comment

Ok, yes, this post is going to be full nerd, so apologies to my regular readers–I will make it up to you soon with something fun. You know, like an overview of Facebook’s most recent news feed changes or something equally entertaining. 😉 So you know that I recently purchased a Chromebook and that it’s […]

Are We Supposed to Be Surprised that Google+ is Failing?

08.02.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Ah…Google Plus (or is it Google+?…let the list of confusing things about it begin). It was supposed to be the Facebook killer that we Facebook haters had waited for. When that didn’t happen and Facebook thrived, it was supposed to be a lot of things: great for SEO, the new “killer app” as far as […]

Google Reader: Going, Going, Gone

07.01.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

As of today, Google Reader is a thing of the past. A truly stupid move on Google’s part, in my opinion. Google Reader drove a ton of traffic and hundreds of thousands (if not more–couldn’t find a recent stat at a quick glance) of users, as evidenced by sending over 500k new users to Feedly […]

Is Feedburner Really Shutting Down?

09.26.2012 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you’re reading this post via email subscription it most likely looks different that posts used to look. That’s because I’ve switched subscription services from Google Feedburner to Feedblitz, due, in part to freaking out over last week’s frenzy of speculation that Feedburner is shutting down after a glitch showed all follower counts to be at […]

Google+ Pages: My First Impressions

11.08.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Earlier today Google made a big to-do about announcing that the ability to create Pages had launched. Then they took it back and said that the functionality was “coming soon” for everyone, and only available now to select few. Then later they announced, no, really, Pages are live for everyone. Talk about an annoying beginning. […]

Why I’m not Giddy Over Google+

07.04.2011 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you’re a geek, you already know what Google+ is. If you’re not, this seems like a decent primer (I admit I just Googled it and picked the first link, so apologies if that’s actually a flawed or otherwise not great explanation. After all, it’s July 4th.) Basically, it’s supposed to be Google’s version of […]
