Google swoops up another startup, Polar to join the Google+ team

Google+ is dead! Google+ is dying! Google+ is a ghost town! Oh the memories we all have of the internet and social media networks. No matter which way you slice it, some people love Google+ and others can’t stand it. Is it being scaled back at all? I have no idea. What I do know though is that Google just bought another startup company and they are joining the Google+ team.

Polar is a polling company. Essentially they give you the tools to create a poll and publish it. Statics wise they served more than 500 million polls in the last 8 months. For a little more WOW factor, in September, I assume last year, they had 1.1 million unique voters.

Does this mean we are going to start seeing countless polls showing up in our G+ stream? Probably not. Dave Besbris, head of G+ said,”At Google+, Wroblewski and the Polar team will work on making the social network easier to use on mobile devices.” Luke Wreblewski is the founder of Polar by the way. he is also apparently a mobile design expert. Wreblewski and a handful of the Polar team will all be joining forces will the Google+ very soon. I have a feeling there will be some visual changes and UI tweaks hitting our beloved G+ app on our devices shortly thereafter.
