Google Plus

Posed the question: 'Does anyone have Google Plus?' This is my response.

All this is deducted from looking at trends:
Very few people have it at this current point of time.
Most people would be reluctant to leave the dominant Facebook presence as all over the web there are 'Connect with Facebook' signs and 'Like' signs.
There are no problems with Facebook in it's current state and as it's always updating, it doesn't seem to be reaching a time where it is outdated. (Yet, we may have an instance where new technology surpasses it)
Everyone (Well, almost) already has a Facebook account and so Google+, no matter how good it is, will be very lonely.

However, looking at the projections for the next few weeks, some thing COULD (Probably won't) happen:
1. The very few people who use G+ Love it and spread good reviews. Popularity is only through word of mouth. (Just a saying, it could be sent as a Facebook message...)
2. The popular people go on G+ and ditch Facebook. This'll make G+ more used.
3. The masses join the popular people and agree that it's better than Facebook.
If all these things happen, then G+ will become popular.

BUT:
1. Google has a tendency to track you. It freely admits to it. If you're talking to your friends about relationships, then... You don't an international company to know your secrets.
2. The popular people will just stick to Facebook. Probably. It's got more and can do more so why switch?
3. As the popular people will not (In the most plausible solution) switch over, the masses will ignore G+.
4. As the only websites that have much social interest these days are Facebook and 4Chan, it's unlikely that G+ will become popular.

As a user of many sites (I use my GMail account as the main Email account, I go on 4Chan every now and then and I obviously go on Facebook.) I would have to say that G+ isn't going to go too well. I believe that any hype about it will die down and the site will die.

That is all.

Tl;Dr: OP is a Faggot.
