I blogged at [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2B Google Plus] (G+) from July 9, 2011 to November 5, 2018. In October 2018, Google [https://www.blog.google/technology/safety-security/project-strobe/ announced] that it would terminate G+ for users like me, and delete all our posts. I was [https://conifer.rhizome.org/petersuber/peter-suber-g-blog-2011-2019/20190301193159/https://plus.google.com/+PeterSuber/posts/1Fc9YY6qdgy not happy] about it.

I began saving my G+ posts 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.  
I began saving my G+ posts to the [https://archive.org/ Internet Archive] (IA), [https://conifer.rhizome.org/ Conifer], (then called WebRecorder), and other locations. I saved a small fraction to the IA, and [https://conifer.rhizome.org/petersuber/peter-suber-g-blog-2011-2019 nearly all of them to Conifer].

Revision as of 13:55, 30 August 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), Conifer, (then called WebRecorder), and other locations. I saved a small fraction to the IA, and nearly all of them to Conifer.

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

  • Altogether I wrote more than 1,400 posts for G+.
  • Here I list 71. I started with a smaller number, and may add more over time.
  • For my older blog, Open Access News (2002-2010), see my details elsewhere.
  • Most recent first, just like a blog.
