The Fight Between the Three Major Social Networks

Before I start, I think this graph is ultra biased.  1000+ days ago was 2008.  Facebook was released in parts first to college, then to high school, then to entities.  Twitter was created in 2006, to the still lingering question, “What do I do with this.” Google being the number 1 search engine by a huge margin, has been creating rumors about their social network. When it finally came out, of course EVERYONE wanted to try it.   Now the question is, “Which one of these services is going to suffer?”

Google + May Finally Have the Buzz to Topple Facebook [UPDATED 1]

Thanks XKCD

 

UPDATE:  Just had a long talk with @justinfreid, about this.

I’m rushing this post out, but I’m really impressed by what I see.   What I’m talking about is google+.  Google’s answer to social networking, and I think that google not only hit it out of the park, but hit it out of the stratosphere.  Being so nascent, hidden features will come, but this is what I see:

I am sitting at Costco for the third time this week, thinking to myself, “How come I am not mayor?”  Not only, why am I not mayor, but how come I’m not within ten check ins of becoming mayor.   How is that possible?  This exact scenario is happening to me at Planet Fitness, a place I visit 3 or 4 days a week.

I Really Don’t Care Where You Are, Really!

Twitter has recently exploded with 3rd parties applications that post just about everything from where you are to how much you weight to, how popular you are in the virtual world.  Well I hate it, and if I hate it, then the world hates it. We all know that I know what the world wants.  Well I propose a solution, after the jump.
