Agree with this assessment. G+ is geeky enough to dissuade the non-tech people so mom-and-pop users will probably not switch en-mass from Facebook.
The real question is, is this enough for Google to not kill it (like Wave)? Or are they in the Social scene domination business and a core geeky consumer base is not enough to sustain G+ and they move on to the next Social "thing"?
- nextparadigms 15y agoPlease explain how G+ is more geeky than Facebook. It's a much more intuitive product. It enables features in such an easy way that Facebook can't even dream about.
- suprgeek 15y agoDid you even read the Post that we are commenting on? There is a whole section that starts with " There are pieces of Google+ that are mighty geeky....". It is ok to be passionate but as a minimum courtesy - please read before commenting
- mmorris 15y agoGoogle+ may have geeky aspects to it, but Scoble saying it doesn't make it so. It does seem like Google+ could use a little bit of polish, but Scoble's examples are pretty poor. Non-geeks don't want to organize their friends into groups? I'd guess some will want to, and some won't. But it doesn't seem like enough of a barrier to keep people from joining if everyone else is.
