Agreed, supernal. Facebook was the "first" major social network for a lot of it's users. Just look at how myspace is still (barely) hanging on, and it wasn't nearly as effective even before all the clutter. There are many users who don't like change, and have learned to use facebook. They don't want to switch to Google+ just because it works better / slicker / faster. For many of them it will take massive peer pressure (which got many of us on facebook in the first place) to make a switch, or even add Google to the list.
As long as Google executes everything, and releases the features, and markets correctly; I can see it overtkaing Facebook.
EVERY social network is a fad, ANYTHING social is a fad, EVERYTHING that people can judge you on is a fad, That's how society is, people aren't wearing the fashion from 10 years ago are they? All it takes is a couple of people to jump-ship and facebook is in freefall. Myspace, Friendster, Bebo, Facebook all had their success and each one after the other thinks that because they have more people they are more 'secure' it just means that more people have decided to sign up as the web and the world turns and churns more technology and ideas. Currently the users are getting sick of Facebook, despite what some say. Everybody want's to start fresh.
There are many facebook apps that sometimes confuse using the whole FB platform, if they don't sort this out in the future, they may face serious problems.
I like the Google + feature but I dont quite understand how it works. Does your "+1" approvals get added to your gmail/google profile....which something no one checks anyway? Its confusing.
I think it would be difficult for Google Plus to beat Facebook. It would take long I guess but let's see.
Well Google is trying to attract the social audience right now And facebook is already going in denial and marketing on google so i think google is much bigger then facebook.
I hope it does. If anyone can beat Facebook, its Google, and I'm sure Google+ will be made with less bugs than Facebook.
I think this is the most difficult question. No one can predict what will happened but in my opinion Google is the father and Facebook is Uncle.
Just now I heard that facebook is starting video chat with skype helps, now this is an answer to google+ I guess. Now what do feel guys and gals ?
I also think that G+ will destroy FB. Mark should think of some new ideas to keep his current user on FB, otherwise he will be dead.
always dear google +1 provide clouding facility. +1 is google product and facebook does not provide a clouding.
I dont know a lot about google + . so i cant really speak on it . But facebook has become a very large monster online !
Not WILL destroy, it was destroy,facebook slovely lose they visitors andd am glad, yes, i dont have yet google + account,but i wait,and wait and waitt!!!!
Google+ would easily beat facebook, not only because the media announced the g+ as the way they have announced gmail many years ago. Google already has a lot of free or paid service that facebook does not have and will be easily to be integrated in the future. This will force users of google services to use other services of google and in this case is goolge +. Google is a company of innovation and # 1 on the web. Microsoft had previously tried to beat google in many ways but google even more powerful. and although some google employees have been recruited by Facebook, but many valuable employees still empoyeed by google. now, we'll see Facebook become another myspace
