Going by the trainwreck that was Google+, I think you're completely wrong on this one.
- taneq 11y agoGoogle+ was going great guns until they started forcing people to use real names everywhere. There's a big step between "building a social network" and "trying to own your users' real life identities".
- skewart 11y agoI disagree. There's a big difference between "users" and active, engaged users. Google+ may have had a lot of users on paper, but relatively few people actually spent much time using it. The hard part about building a social network for a company like Google, or even Yahoo, isn't getting user accounts. It's making something that people actually want to use.
- henrikschroder 11y agoI don't think you're arguing with me, because that was exactly my point as well?
