After two months of basking in the accolades Google+ has received, Google's social media strategy is again the cause of some head-scratching. The search engine has decided to shut down Slide, a social media app and game maker that it bought about a year ago. Even more eyebrow-raising: Its founder and chief executive Max Levchin is leaving. Levchin is pursuing other opportunities, Google said. Meanwhile, most of Slide's staff is remaining at Google to work on other ventures. Google did not return the E-Commerce Times' request for further comment in time for publication.
