Google Plus Now Minus Chief Vic Gundotra

Posted by Unknown on from the google-plus-still-exists? dept.

JG0LD (2616363) writes "Vic Gundotra, the man behind Google Plus and one of Google's most prominent executives, announced today that he will leave the company 'effective immediately.' Gundotra made the announcement, appropriately enough, in a lengthy Google Plus post, praising his co-workers and saying that he is 'excited about what's next.' However, he did not further outline his future plans, saying that 'this isn't the day to talk about that.'"

    I'm surprised anybody found out. I bet a bunch of people showed up at the office the next day asking, "Where's Vic? It looks like he cleaned out his office."

    Why did they choose "Google+"? It has all the positive connotations of "HIV+" and the service is not even remotely viral.
