Bradley Horowitz, the vice president of product for Google+ since 2008, has reportedly been named the head of Google’s social network.
According to TechCrunch, Horowitz has replaced David Besbris, who has been in charge of Google+ for less than a year.
It’s not clear what Google’s plans are — the company did not immediately respond to a VentureBeat request for comment — but if recent signals are correct, it could be that Google+ will be losing some of its features.
In an interview with Forbes, Google product czar Sundar Pichai suggested that Google+ could be broken up over time. Many people think the search giant has all but lost the social networking battle to Facebook.
