The Official Android Beta Community Moves From Google+ To Reddit (androidpolice.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the another-nail-goes-into-the-coffin dept.

With Google+ being shutdown in just a few weeks, the official Android Beta community announced that it will be leaving the dying social media site in exchange for Reddit. The group on Google+ was home to over 163,000 members. Android Police reports: The community's new home will be r/android_beta. In an official announcement, the Android Beta team says they'll keep a close eye on the subreddit for feedback and will use it for announcements and updates. There's nothing there just yet, but when the Android Q beta hits, we're sure things will get much busier. For now, just make sure you subscribe and keep in mind that you have a second address where you can send all your Q beta complaints -- the first is obviously our tips inbox.

    When is Reddit going to complete their web design?

      The same time Slashdot completes theirs. Oh wait it was called Beta and so terrible that people made their own slashcode based clone sites.

      This might seem like nothing more than a dig at Reddit, but it's a great question in light of the fact that Google+ finally got their web design right, just in time to cancel the service. They got rid of most of the unnecessary whitespace, and their translation feature was second-to-none. Any other social network would have to pay to integrate google translate, so no other social network but Facebook has adequate translation functions, and you have to otherwise get that functionality from your browser. G+ was far and away the easiest place to have an international, multilingual conversation in text.

    To me, a cuck is someone who knows his limits in bed and understands that for less common, more demanding scenes, his partner might need to bring in a specialist surrogate. Is there really anything wrong with that?
