Google+ vs. Facebook

[Torsten]

I think in a few years Google+ will be more popular than Facebook: https://plus.google.com/104409123665631314605/posts

Dear Torsten! It is nice of You to show us your very handsome face. I would advise to the other moderators to do the some. See Alan-how nice and inviting he looks. Dear Torsten, in particular, I like your new haircut. In my opinion, public figures should not hide their faces . Very satisfied , Your admirer Alicja

I added you on Google+ Torsten. :)

Dear Torsten ! This is comforting for me. But suddenly someone stole this sun-tanned one. What a shame!

[Torsten]

That was a fake anyway ;-)

Have just found this which I fully subscribe to:

In view of all the recent changes FB has made… in the beginning FB was simple and this was the draw bringing users from myspace. With the lack of privacy and the lack of choice over complicated streams, lists, top stories, and having to subscribe to friends pages to view their streams. There is a lot of confusion and difficulty using facebook now.

I think users will look and move to another social networking site like what happened in myspace a few years back. Users want something easy to utilize. Google plus provides both the simplicity and privacy that users desire.

Hi Tomasito,

Good to see you here again. To answer your question, please browse through this thread: http://www.faceblogger.com/google-plus-vs-facebook/

The Americans have already started departing Facebook so the rest of the world will follow suit soon.

Thanks for sharing those pages. Google plus might be good than facebook, but the fact is, people have familiarized with facebook and it won't be ease to switch to Google+ because they have made lots of friends. I have an Google+ account, but I feel isolated. I like the design and the services provided by google, but they are useless unless I have a significant number of people to interact with.

Tomasito, wake up. American Facebook users have been leaving the sinking ship in droves ever since Google was launched this summer. Do you remember MySpace? It was bigger than Facebook and as it started to decline users were leaving it faster than a burning house. You can join Google Plus in a minute and it's a question of time until most of the current Facebook do so. By the way, Google is also challenging MS Skype:
