Google plus is the Nokia Lumia of social networks. Solid, great looking and not better enough than the incumbent to gain a significant market share.

- paganel 13y agoIt's been two years of putting "more wood behind fewer arrows" and all they could come up with is a Pinterest-lookalike thingie. For an outsider like me it's really, really frustrating, they have all this data and smart engineers and all they can think about is winning every battle and not realizing that they're losing the war. And just to make sure, "the war" is not against Facebook, Microsoft or any short-term, market-driven non-sense, "the war" and fight itself should be related to trying to reach the Singularity, trying to make us (the human species) less dependent on only one potential point of failure (this planet) etc.
- FireBeyond 13y agoWait, your source of frustration with Google is that they're not doing enough to move the human race to another planet in the near future?!? I just want to make sure I understand what you are getting at, here.
- paganel 13y agoYeap, got that right, they have some of the smartest guys on the planet as their employees and they fill up their time with what looks like gibberish. You do have to think big.
