This is just specualtion. There is no hard evidence that they are shifting a thousand talent to other things at once. In fact, in a previous discussion it was said that people were moving to a new building on the campus. Did the author just ASSUME that it was a sign of the changing.
I do think Google is thinking about a new strategy, but when he says "Google is getting away from Google+" is just pure speculation.
The real deal is that we have gap. There is a distance in using so many tools. I post it on Twitter but i want that to appear on FB but not G+. Or whatever. I have RSS feed. I have photos I want to share but not indexed or shared on Google Plus. This is sure something a startup can take on. But this is where social network companies are failing to do well BECAUSE they all want everyone to join their platform and ONLY their platform.
