Without meaning to be unnecessarily negative; what I find most interesting about this post is that neither the article, nor any comments in this thread so far, even mention Google Plus. Cuban seems to write it off as a contender, even a revived MySpace seems more likely to him as an alternative. Why?
- josefresco 14y agoHe's bluffing, and could have easily said Orkut or Pinterest.
- hayksaakian 14y agoGood point, last I remember pintrest is more popular than MySpace.
- xxbondsxx 14y agoBecause outside of Silicon Valley, Google+ is perceived as a ghost town. Every time someone says this in a HN thread, dozens of people respond with cute anecdotes about how great their experience is, but this place is like an echo chamber. If you actually go out and get the public _perception_ of G+ it's quite negative. I mean Vic got his big G+ talk at I/O completely cut off for the sake of another product. That should show you the shift in Larry and Sergey's priorities
- zalew 14y agowhile g+ haven't yet (like the linux desktop year yet) reached the average joe crowd, and I really like this guy, mentioning myspace sound bonkers. another possibility is some of his businesses just go well with the myspace crowd.
