Despite its best efforts -- and seemingly unlimited resources -- Google’s social media failures continue to pile up. After languishing for years, the search giant has finally decided to kill its first social network, Orkut. “The platform will be formally closed on September 30, after which users will be unable to log in or export their photo albums to Google+,” The Next Web reports. “Google says it’ll be focusing its efforts on YouTube, Blogger and Google+ moving forward.”
