Title: Would you change from Facebook to Google +?
Post by: Z320 on July 27, 2011, 04:28:14 AM

A recent poll shows that 50% of the g+ uses would totally change to G+.

This image says it all.

Will you?

If I were in that poll, I would have picked "Screw social networks. Why don't you call me?"

Seriously, when my friends from uni have a get-together, so many of them will, at some point say "God I miss being able to just sit/hang and talk like this".

To which I reply, "Then stop sitting in front of your Facebook page so much and use your phone to call AND TALK to one of us/one another".

Honestly I'd switch, and lots of people are switching, but no one's using it >.< kind of sad. I feel like it's too similar to facebook, there's not enough to make it unique...

For now, I don't see any reason why I should move to G+.

I'm on both, but I check them like once a week so it doesn't really bother me.  :cow:

I think g+ is really slick and all but there's no real reason to use it. Some people really support google and want to switch over...but at the moment its really just too similar to facebook so there's no reason for anyone to switch over. I think right now most people are just making accounts and adding people...but there's not much activity. They really just need to work on showing why or how they're different or I don't see it happening.

I just don't want to give Google my identity, imagine people can search for you online, what you search, your preference, your purchase, no more anonymity.
Yes maybe they don't directly looking into your data, but using some sort of algorithm to track your activity-online.

Facebook is more or less the same.
