Was feeling a little nostalgic for Google Wave. Turns out that came and went between 2009 and 2010. Apparently Apache messed with it for a while, and only officially stopped development in 2018 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_W).

Then I remembered Google+. I had some hopes already back in the early 2010s that at least Google+ could give FB and Twitter some competition. On paper it existed 2011-2019 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%2), but really it was officially killed on October 8, 2018.

While I was looking up Google+, that wikipedia page reminded me about Orkut. Remember Orkut!?! (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkut) Turns out that as of April of this year, the website is back up: orkut.com/index.html

See you there?

@brianpm If they had a dark mode for Google+, I would've used it waaaay more. I even emailed Google about it. Sigh.
