The internet giant Google announced Monday that it would close its social network Orkut to focus on other more popular services like YouTube, Google+ and Blogger.
Final closure of the first social network of Google, launched in 2004, will end in September. "Over the last decade, Youtube, Google+ and Blogger took off," said Paul Golgher, director of engineering in a blog.
"Because the growth of these communities has outpaced Orkut, we decided to say goodbye to Orkut," he adds.
Except in Brazil, Orkut, really never took off. But even there, it is overshadowed by Facebook for two years.
