Tuesday marked the day when Google began deleting Google+ accounts. And not immune to the purge were accounts of high-powered Google executives.
Much of what was on those executives' Google+ profiles are silly, including selfies of Brin skydiving or Page's favorite pancake recipe. However, those profiles are also significant artifacts of Google's history, including insight into its decision-making process and important company announcements.
The loss of these profiles from public view makes it that much more difficult to get a clear view of Google's past, and hold current leadership accountable to previous statements. Regarding Arora, Page wrote:"I remember first meeting him at the British Museum, which for some reason Sergey had decided would be a good interview location. Nikesh has been a tremendous leader, adviser and mentor to many Googlers — including me. We have learned a lot together, and had a lot of fun along the way."
Another post from Page, which came in 2013 during his second stint as Google CEO, described personal issues he was facing with his vocal chords, which had impacted his speech for years and caused him to talk softly.
