As I am sure by now most, if not all, of you out there have heard of the social media Google has pushed out called "Google+." This is a new social media driving many users who have a Gmail account to use this version of social media. There are many different features as well as similar features to those competitors in the industry. I guess the best question is which one should I use? I'm afraid there is no good answer for that question as it is an opinion. However, I can give you my opinion.
I have been trying to get in to the Google+ social media now for about two months or so. When I first heard about the idea I was very excited to see what types of new and different ideas the geniuses at Google were going to come up with. Looking at some of the leaps they have made over time I considered my excitement and anticipation a sure thing. Unfortunately I was less than blown away when I fort used Google+. I was really expecting more people to be on there. I was expecting more innovation. I was expecting to be blown away and use the over achievements of Google let me cast Facebook aside and continue to be distracted by something new. Google+ in my opinion fell short. The actual set up is neither too visually pleasing nor very user friendly.
I think it is safe to say that Facebook has won this battle of the social medias. The war may be far from over however the battles have slowed down just in time for Facebook to release many new features to possibly attract more users or keep the ones they have.
In releasing these new features I think it is clear that Facebook was a little uneasy with Google's release of Google+. Why else make such an attempt to upgrade so much at one time? I would have done the same if I were lucky enough to be a decision maker at Facebook. All the fighting aside the new features are very cool. Just to ramble off my favorite is the way you will be able to tune into a friends radio station or watch their video as they are streaming it at the same time.
I do not do the explanation justice. But I think by now it should be clear that Google+ although had the momentum to topple Facebook; it has fallen short so far.
