As for having a mostly techie userbase it's just where it's market penetration starts, and techies are the most likely to adopt a new invite only app.
And that's also where it's market penetration ends. Non-techies don't want to deal with invite stuff, so they don't join Google+. Now the only people on Google+ are techies, and that's where it's going to stay until Google kills it off in a few months like they've done will most of their other recent projects like this.
Give me one good reason why non-techies would ever join a social networking site filled with techies when they already have Facebook that fulfills all their needs?
- yanw 15y agoIt will stop being invite only eventually, and I don't think Google is going to kill the project it's along term play that they are investing a lot in, and as integrates with all of Google's other services it'll become more valuable and get exposed to the millions using those services.
- Goronmon 15y agoIt will stop being invite only eventually And why will that matter? It doesn't change the point I mentioned. Why would a non-techie join a social networking site filled with techies? And Google will kill Google+ because people will stop using it and it won't make sense to keep such a large project going without a userbase.
- yanw 15y agoOf course it will. It's a bottleneck, and once it's unrestricted and there is no friction to joining they will market it to the non-techies. And regardless even a techie exclusive user-base is far from worthless.
