Quite a few outlets picked up on the fact that google has shut down all of the social media accounts for Google Glass. It’s a surprising step, even if it has been relatively obvious that the consumer-facing Google Glass product has not developed or gained popularity as originally anticipated. Mashable points out that Google will continue to focus on business applications for Glass (there is still a “Glass at Work” site https://developers.google.com/glass/distribute/glass-at-work) and then look to relaunch Glass for consumers in the future. Clearly, as the article intimates, glasses (in the general sense) form part of the wearables’ story. We have smart watches, fitness and health trackers and even ear buds (http://www.getdubs.com), so glasses will inevitably become more mainstream once a developer gets the product right.
