Fun while it lasted...

Remember back in September when I blogged about how to create a Google+ account to make your brand icon display next to your emails when sending to Gmail users?

Well, looks like that won't work after a certain point, as Google is shutting down Google+ and will be deleting Google+ accounts and content.

I got a notice this morning that says my various Google+ accounts (used for logo display for various email sender tests I've set up) will be shut down on April 2, 2019.

It was fun while it lasted.

I wonder if this means Google will get on board with the BIMI logo display standard? Or there will be some other way to do this? We shall see.

January, 2022 Update: While Google+ has gone away, it still seems to be possible to create a brand logo for display in Gmail, using most of the process I described originally.
