SAN FRANCISCO, OCT 9: Internet giant Google has said it is shutting down the consumer version of its own social networking site Google+ due to low usage and a bug discovered in March last year that could leak the data of about half a million of its users.
"The consumer version of Google+ currently has low usage and engagement: 90 percent of Google+ user sessions are less than five seconds," said Google, which is headquartered in Mountain View in northern California, Xinhua reported.
Google on Monday said it is going to close Google+ in the coming months, seven years after it was launched as a social networking site of its own name brand. - IANS
