What makes you think it will work? G+ is like the poster child for fighting the wrong way, a technically more advanced product that lacked the user base, and thus the point, of Facebook. Isn't Facebook doing the same thing with Snapchat, where the different user base is the real draw, not the tech?
- yeukhon 10y agoG+ is a poster child, but G+ is a horrible product. It was an entirely a whole new application of its own, so comparing that to Stories is pretty awkward. The Stories is integrated within the main Facebook user experience. It's literally showing up as another feature on the main site/main app.
- thomastjeffery 10y ago> G+ is a horrible product. Specifically how? The only reason I don't use it is that Facebook has all of the users. G+ has circles, which I really wish Facebook had. AFAIK, G+ doesn't have a constant sidebar with targeted ads like Facebook does.
- L_Rahman 10y agoThe difference is that Facebook already has a captive audience and G+ never did.
- mattnewton 10y agoBut, as a sibling comment suggested, it has the wrong audience: your mother, your coworkers, and your ex.
- zepolen 10y agoYes, Google doesn't have an audience...
