Google Currents Launches to Replace Google Plus

There are always new systems, softwares and programs being introduced into the digital world. If you know anything about digital marketing, you will know that the same can be said for Google. As a company, Google regularly provides updates and new services to users. Whether it’s an updated way of advertising via PPC or a new algorithm to change the way search engine optimisation works, it is very important to keep up to date with what Google is doing.

As of the beginning of July, Google released Google Currents to G Suite users. Though it has been in the testing stages for a while, Google Currents is now readily available for all users to enjoy. Google Current is a replacement for the previously popular Google Plus. When Google Plus began to attract fewer and fewer users, Google implemented an alternative. Google Currents is being hailed as an up to date, improved version of Google+.
