Google has launched an API that will allow developers to create and post third party apps that will be able to post and read directly to their new social networking site, Google plus. I am sure that Google is hoping that this new development will reignite interest in the service that was opened up to a limited audience in late June.
Since Google plus launched it has experienced a huge decrease in users. There has been a 40% decline in the service. Sources say that the CEO of Google, Larry Parks, has not even posted publicly to his Google plus account in almost a month.
Only time will tell if the new API development and the persistence of Google will pay off. Will the internet giant ever be able to take on Facebook? They certainly have the resources to do so....but the question is, will they be able to execute? What do you think about Google plus? Will they pull it off in the long run, or will it just be a repeat of Google Buzz?
