From ComputerWorld: The fact that Google launched a new photo sharing and storage service this week isn't ringing the death knell of Google+.
At least that's what Google executives are saying.
"I can commit to … Google+," said Bradley Horowitz, vice president of photos and streams, during a press briefing at Google I/O on Thursday. "It has an excellent team behind it. Some new blood has been brought in. There's been a renaissance in thinking of Google+. It's working really well in connecting people with shared interests."
There was a lot of talk at Google I/O, the company's major annual developer conference in San Francisco, about what the launch of Google Photos means to Google+. The talk didn't hold out much hope for the social network , which has failed to make a big footprint in a market so dominated by Twitter and Facebook.
Google Photos has been a service inside Google+, allowing users to store and share their images and videos.
