The service was launched in 2011, but has struggled to find regular users with many mocking the service for remaining largely dormant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The company hasn\u2019t made any announcement on the future of the Google+ brand. But Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of products at Google, told Forbes last week that the company would work to split up the different pieces of the service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I think increasingly you&#8217;ll see us focus on communications, photos and the Google+ Stream as three important areas, rather than being thought of as one area,&#8221; he said in an interview. Hangouts remains the most popular social service that hasn\u2019t been split off, and its fate remains unclear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source: Independent.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is splitting its social network apart, breaking it into \u201cPhotos\u201d and \u201cStreams\u201d and leaving the fate of the often mocked Google+ service hanging in the balance.
