I blogged at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B Google Plus] (G+) from July 9, 2011 to November 5, 2018. When Google [https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/ announced] in October 2018 that it would terminate G+ for users like me, and delete all our posts, I began saving mine to the [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive] (IA) and other locations. IA is also [https://www.reddit.com/r/plexodus/comments/az285j/saving_of_public_google_content_at_the_internet/ trying on its own] to capture all the public G+ posts from all G+ users. I hope to say more later on how these efforts turn out. Meantime, here my ''major'' G+ posts. I list them here with the original G+ URLs (which may be useless after April 2, 2019) and the newer, permanent IA URLs. —[[Peter_Suber|Peter Suber]].

Revision as of 14:34, 14 February 2020

I blogged at Google Plus (G+) from July 9, 2011 to November 5, 2018. In October 2018, Google announced that it would terminate G+ for users like me, and delete all our posts. I was not happy about it.

I began saving my G+ posts to the Internet Archive (IA) and other locations. IA is also trying on its own to capture all the public G+ posts from all G+ users. I hope to say more later on how these efforts turn out.

Meantime, here are my major G+ posts. I list them here with the original G+ URLs (even if they become useless after April 2, 2019) and the newer, permanent IA URLs. —Peter Suber.

  • Altogether I wrote more than 1,400 posts for G+.
  • Here I list 68. I started with a smaller number. But I add new ones as I find them randomly saved to the IA.
  • For my older blog, Open Access News (2002-2010), see my details elsewhere.
  • Most recent first, just like a blog.
