<p>It's so weird, like two days ago no one had it, but all of a sudden it started exploding last night. Does anyone else have it? What do you guys think about it?</p>
<p>Yawn. I’m unaffected.</p>
<p>I hope that the buzz is temporary because I am already settled on Facebook and have no intention of creating a new profile.</p>
<p>I also don’t like the thought of a single company controlling my entire online life. I use their browser, their email, their search engine and their spreadsheets. That’s enough market share for my taste.</p>
<p>Just another phase in Social Network development.
I remember when AOL chatrooms where all the rage, than Friendster got big, followed by Myspace then Facebook. I’m not surprised that Google would join in, and probably better their social network endeavors by augmenting it into many of their other free online services…Services not offered by Facebook or twitter. Google is a giant and in its own way bigger than MS (Who here actually uses BING?)
Down with Facebook I say.</p>
<p>Social networking is all about fads. Facebook looks big now, but so did Myspace. It’s just a matter of time before the next big thing takes down Facebook and Twitter recedes back to obscurity.</p>
<p>I’m done with social networking sites. Like everyone said here, it’s a fad. Social netowrking is this big cycle of products being created. Myspace was hot, not Facebook is hot, and in the future something else will be hot.</p>
<p>Several of my friends work at Google. They all seem really excited about it…I don’t really see it. It looks too much like a smaller Facebook right now, but with circles for different friend lists instead of just lists. I’ll give it more thought once they’ve done more with it.</p>
<p>Did Friendster or Myspace try as hard as Facebook or Google to attract top talent to work for them? I have no idea since I wasn’t in college when they were big, but that’s like one of the things that makes me think that Facebook won’t disappear as fast as the other two.</p>
<p>Myspace targeted really only the younger generations whereas facebook is trying to get everyone- and they’re succeeding. Plus, when myspace was big, there weren’t smartphones and the like that kept people CONSTANTLY connected. Therefore, I think Facebook is about as much of a fad as Google- it’s just something we’ve grown to depend on. </p>
<p>I haven’t really checked out Google+ yet.</p>
<p>LOL @ b@r!um…so true though.</p>
<p>If it’s anything like Google Buzz, nobody has to worry about Google taking over their life.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of it.</p>
<p>But from reading this thread, I’m assuming Google has jumped on the social network bandwagon? They’re great at expanding into new markets and making things easy to use.</p>
<p>I got an invitation yesterday. I’m already in love with the service.</p>
<p>On Facebook, I never really wanted to share stuff because they didn’t have the “Circles”. I really love the idea of “Circles”. Google+ probably going to be one social networking sites that I actually like start using.</p>
<p>Oh yea, I can’t believe I forgot about this but Google actually already tried a social networking website, with Orkut, which only got popular in Brazil, for whatever reason. But that was like before Google like did stuff outside of searching I think.</p>
<p>I just checked it out… after suffering through the interactive tour, I’ve decided to stick with facebook.</p>
<p>Quickly, everybody back to Myspace! ;)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, Facebook’s much bigger and better than MySpace was. Many of the people that use it are far less fickle with how they spend their time on the Internet. Facebook could be toppled, but it’s no sure bet.</p>
