Google is shutting down Spaces
Google's oh-so-brief Spaces experiment didn't even last a year before the company decided to shut it down. According to a note from the Spaces team today, they've made a "tough decision" and the group-sharing social network will lock down in read-only mode on March 3rd, then completely shut down on April 17th.
Google Spaces helps you share things with small groups
Apparently, Google+ refocusing on communities just wasn't enough. Google has introduced Spaces, an app for Android, iOS and the web that's designed solely for sharing experiences in small groups. All you have to do is start a topic, invite a few people (no, they don't need Google+) and you're off to the races -- there's a conversational view that makes sure you see whatever's going on. Chrome, search and YouTube are built-in, so you don't have to hop between apps to find a relevant story or video.
