On July 15, 2016, we launched Connect to give Local Guides like you a single, official place to communicate with each other. We hoped that Connect would be a place where you could literally connect with others just like you and those not-so-much like you to make new friendships that would help you in your Local Guides experience.

 

As we shared earlier this week, new and exciting features are coming to Connect. We can’t wait to share them with you because we know these features will help to connect even more Local Guides with one another — and with us Googlers, too.

 

This July 15, we’re celebrating two years of Local Guides Connect — and you — so I wanted to take a look at what we’ve done together in this time:

  • 700,000+ Local Guides are registered on Connect (and many of those log in at least monthly!)
  • 300,000+ discussions have been started
  • 500,000+ replies have been posted
  • 15,000+ solutions have been accepted
  • 14 people have become Connect Moderators (though we currently have 13)
  • 1,000,000+ kudos have been given

Note: The above numbers include activity from across our community including private boards so they may differ from what you see in the community.

 

Here are a few of my favorite things since we launched Connect:

  • Seeing everyone communicate no matter where they live, the language they speak, or the type of Local Guide they are
  • Interacting with so many of you and learning what makes you the great Local Guides you are
  • Finding out that many of you have such strong passions that you’ve found a way to highlight with Google Maps and through the Local Guides program. For example, helping to rebuild your city after an earthquake and working with underserved populations in your community
  • Connect Moderators: You have a special place in my heart because meeting other Local Guides like me who are passionate about keeping Connect a warm and welcoming place for everyone just feeds my soul

 

Thank you all for making Connect such a wonderful place to visit each day. Now tell me, what’s YOUR favorite thing about Connect?

 


Note: Due to the volume of private messages Googlers receive, I do not read or respond to private messages. Please post publicly so others may benefit from your discussion. If you require urgent assistance, please tag a Google Moderator. Thank you!.

Congratulations! I think it's very good that people from different countries, with different religions, political and social arrangements communicate here in a friendly manner. People learn to understand the culture of other countries. The Internet provides many opportunities to learn other people better. I think this should lead in the future to a general reduction of conflicts in the world. I hope so. 🙂

Hi everybody!

 

It's fun to document daily life though Guides during travel. As a video journalist I come in many places and take pictures and write reviews. Business owners seem to appreciate that since they reply to reviews. Now at level 7 I started approaching hotels and they respond interested. Almost reaching level 8 now and looking forward to do more and better with new features.

 

Looking forward to interact with you guys!

My favourite? Everything in Connect is my favourite. The topics discussed, the people working behind, the moderators, the fellow local guides, the colors, the new version of Connect, every single thing is my favourite. I can never get enough of it. One thing that I must address about Connect is the opportunity of making new friends from around the world, who happen to be so helpful and cooperative. I have made some wonderful friends through Connect and some of them turned out to be my lifelong friend. 

Happy Birthday to Connect! Can't believe it's been 2 years already. It seems to me just yesterday when I joined Connect and a whole new world opened up in front of me.
