I do. I don't believe there's a feature that G+ can add that will overcome the friction of changing social networks from Facebook to G+.
I think Facebook will eventually lose its luster, but its going to be to something completely different then another "Social Network".
- dannyr 15y agoHow do you have a strong enough grasp? Do you have insider information?
- huggyface 15y agoI don't believe there's a feature that G+ can add that will overcome the friction of changing social networks from Facebook to G+. To me I've found that G+ sits in a continuum where LinkedIn is far on one side (the professional world), Facebook on the other, and Google+ sits somewhere in the middle. They can grow from that niche.
- Retric 15y agoFacebook is dying on several fronts. Most notably it's made a deal with the devil by allowing it's profitability to become closely tied to Zenga style 'social' games which drive people away. That's not to say it's going to die quickly, but neither did Yahoo. I don't know if G+ is going to win or if something else is going to show up. But Facebook as a public company is going to be squesed to extract ever more revenue from it's users and that's exactly the behavior that drives people away from 'free' sites.

The thing about Google+, at least how I use it, is that it's a news aggregator rather than a friend feed. I find it more useful to compare it with HN than Facebook.
