I think yes! just think about yahoo when gmail was not online! and now think about yahoo while gmail online!!
Yes. Google has a good potential for a social network and with a Google + account, you can have several unparalleled services from Google.
i don't think so google+ beat facebook because google plus is new and facebook older than google + so facebook worth more than better
just think what it could be after 3/4 years later! when millions of gmail user start creating their profile.
Marketing lesson - "you cannot do everything for everybody". Google is a good search engine, Facebook a social network.
Face book is specialized it is only a social network, on other hand Google+ is product of Google. Facebook is dominating social media as the majority of peoples feel it comfortable to use, where as Google+ has a more professional approach it is good for so professional guys.
yes one day it must be beat face book because face book we used its popular day by day. but G+ its new launch in social networking site. it take a time to be popular. most internet user used to Google search engine. some feature are able when you make Google account. that why is take a time.
