A day subsequent to the announcement that Google+ has more than 40 million users, Google declares that it’s shutting down its previous endeavor at social networking, called Google Buzz. Google Buzz was launched in February 2010. Google Vice President Bradley Horowitz writes in a blog post, one of the Google+ leaders, said the company is planning to close Buzz “in a few weeks.” He confirmed that Buzz users will be able to view the updates created on Buzz in their Google Profile, and they can also download them with the help of Google Takeout. “Changing the world takes focus on the future, and honesty about the past,” Horowitz wrote. “We learned a lot from products like Buzz and are putting that learning to work every day in our vision for products like Google+. Our users expect great things from us; today’s announcements let us focus even more on giving them something truly awesome.”
