I don't think it will "take over" FB. But I believe if implemented correctly (and Google seems to be on that path) it will eventually have a substantial impact.JustinHartley wrote:Hi All
I totally agree with some of you guys, the google "plus one" thing ids going to take over Facebook but if implemented strategically and if people understand its benefits and features it will totally take over facebook.
I don't think so. I have a friend starting a new social network called "FriendTree" but that doesn't mean his social network will become more successful that Facebook. I think people will just be where most of their friends are.Haydendiego wrote:It is true facebook days are numbered. Because Google+ is now being introduced in market. Google+ is also a social networking site because people prefers the newest in the market. And when Google+ is fully launched and partially it is introduced when it is fully introduced in the market it doesn't have to pass from introduction stage as it is Google's site.

But money and marketing muscle is nothing without truly new innovative ideas. See Google buzz, Google profiles, etc...Lumpy Burgertushie wrote:and to even begin to imagine competing with facebook, you would need the money and marketing muscle that only something like google could have.
Well, that's not necessarily true. When Facebook first began, it had little money to work with and not much marketing muscle, and MySpace was the major network at the time which probably seemed hard to top. However, word of mouth among college students seemed to be all the marketing it would need, and sure enough it became the "top dog" of today's market. It's not impossible for another website like Facebook to emerge in a similar fashion, but it would certainly be a one in a million chance.Lumpy Burgertushie wrote:and to even begin to imagine competing with facebook, you would need the money and marketing muscle that only something like google could have.
