Google recently announced that they are going to be shutting down Google+ in the next 10 months, by August 2019 it will be gone. Google+ is one of the social networks that allowed pseudonyms. When they initially opened they preferred real names, like Facebook’s policy, but after a bit of a protest from virtual world residents they allowed us back on.

There are huge virtual world communities on Google+, such as the Second Life community that has over 5000 members. This will be a big loss to certain residents, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to do another post about social media, but this time covering more social platforms than just networks.

Virtual worlds themselves are a form of social platforms. Many join them to socialize with people so in this post I not only want to talk about the major social networks, but also forums, and streaming and other gaming platforms.

Before I get into that though, here are a few links to my previous posts about Social Media:

Social Media – A list of Social Networks I’m on.

Live Social Media Discussion – A presentation I did for BVN about social media, video of presentation is also embedded.

Secrets to Social Networks for Second Lifers – Tricks and tips to get yourself noticed on certain networks.

Social Platforms:

Take my poll and share which social platforms you’re active on. Please keep in mind that multiple selections are allowed and if I missed any networks, feel free to add them to the other section. If you don’t see the poll embedded below, you may need to disable your ad blocker for my site:
