I want to say that I love Google. I really do. Their email(Gmail) is the best out here. I have like 3 or 4 accounts but that is where my love with Google ends. When it comes to social networking Google needs to take a seat until they can come out with something that is original, creative and interesting. So far they are failing.
First Google came out with Google Buzz. If you did not happen to have a Buzz dont worry, you didnt miss out on anything. It was basically a bootleg twitter. It never caught on.
Now Google has Google +. I first heard about Google+ on my twitter timeline which says a lot in itself. I'm always one to try out a social networking site so I joined. Child boo! Google+ is simply a bootleg facebook in every sense of the word. There is NOTHING on Google+ that is NOT on facebook. Google should be ashamed of themselves for even putting it out. How do you copy and steal every single feature from another site and claim it as your own? I remember when Google+ first came out, people on twitter were commenting that facebook should be trembling in their pants. Why? I worked at facebook I'd be laughing my ass off. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery dontcha think? And Google+ is merely that......an imitation of facebook.
I asked one of my google+ friends what features Google has that facebook does not have. He never responded. I think he thought I was being sarcastic or even funny ... I dont know but I was being serious. What does it have that other social networking sites dont have? What sets it apart? Nothing. And that my friends is why, in my opinion, Google will never win. Until they can come up with their own shit they are going to continue to put out products like Buzz and Plus. The best thing about Google plus is that when I quit twitter, I was able to still talk to people from twitter through Plus. Thats about it. Its my new place to go when I am bored but hell its boring over there. Many of my circle friends dont post .... I guess they are too busy on facebook or twitter .... I wouldnt blame them. So my grade for Google+ is a D+. It going to stay that way until someone can tell me what they have that facebook does not have. Til then, do better google!
