That’s right, just as the title says goodbye Google+, BUT hello to Be Google…? WHAT?! Google will soon formally be changing the name from Google+ to Be Google for some odd reason. While we all knew from past post on Googles Blog that they where going to push everything into Google+ and make it a social hub this makes no sense. WTH is Be Google?
“Until now, every single Google property acted like a separate company. Due to the way we grew, through various acquisitions and the fierce independence of each division within Google, each product sort of veered off in its own direction.But Google+ is Google itself. We’re extending it across all that we do—search, ads, Chrome, Android, Maps, YouTube—so that each of those services contributes to our understanding of who you are.”
Was voiced by Brad Horowitz, VP of Products. Besides not making any sense as to the name change, they don’t even know how its going to work out. Shouldn’t this be worked out before a major name change like this? So now all those plus.google.com/XXXX links will be dead or will that still work? What about all those business cards people have made… Google, you have something great on your hands with the name Google+
DON’T FUCK IT UP BY DOING THIS!!!

Update: We are hearing conflicting reports of the specific name change. We have reached out to people at Google+ for some clarification and will report back.
