ByeBye Google Plus

Google took reports about their repeated data losses as an shabby excuse opportunity to kill off their nerdy, but at least unsuccessful social network Google Plus (G+). Its retirement is announced for April 2019.

I wondered what to do with my Ingress Stories and Sitreps that were posted in my profile. They contain great memories and awesome achievements of a lot of people.

As a hopeless optimist I decided to transfer the content to another Google service: Blogger.

Let's hope they won't shut down this Service within severals months also. The KilledbyGoogle-List has already 146 entries and contains some cool services I used to like a lot.

My faith in Wayfarer reviews got restored a little bit: My submission for a historical anti aircraft gunsite got accepted (Flak Stellung Rondorf, Intel-Link ). ⁣⁣A bunch of Wayfinder submissions for „Zwischenfeldbauten“ - remnants of the Prussian fortification ring around Cologne - were declined beforehand. I submitted them while I had a guided tour with @andreasroland_alten a from CRIFA ( Cologne Research - Institute of Fortification Architecture ). These sites are rather unknown to the public, hidden in the woods from any sat view and have no information signs set up. So I wasn’t really surprised when one after another site got declined. Not surprised, but still a little bit disappointed (more about this tour is covered in this German blogpost ).

Operation summary Type: Starburst with 203 Links Place: Cologne, Germany Time: 06.10.2018, around 11:00 CET MU gained: none, as with any starburst “In October the earth will be moving through a swarm of meteorites left by the comet P21/Giacobini-Zinner. As these meteorites burn up in the atmosphere they will create shooting stars! There is no better moment to let starbursts bloom."  (Scientific background: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVHU8K4enPg ) Agent and #Ingress vanguard +Claudi Ja contacted the Enlightened communities with the idea to celebrate the Draconiden meteorits shower. This proposal resonated in many #Ingress communities. Wordwide over 100 green stars lit up our world (global sitrep: https://plus.google.com/+ClaudiJa/posts/E8DHtuHGpdj ) .
