Google Plus

Google does a terrible job at launching social products like Google+. It really puzzles me why Google again and again chose to launch in a way designated to kill the Facebook even before it takes off. But, if people can’t get into Google+ within a few weeks, nobody is going to care.
Seems to me they have not learned anything from the failures of Wave and Buzz.

"But, Android holds a pretty good market share of mobile devices.
And, although facebook make work good on them, I think Google is going to intertwine Google+ with Android. Which will basically force people to use Google+ if you want some features they are offering. And this will get people using Google plus even if they only use it a little."

Right! The same is with google voice application. It's perfect!

Come on LJ, Little late in the game to make an "announcement" post about G+. I personally have been using since it was Beta, and I will admit it is not my favorite go to network, but I do like it a lot. It has given me the opportunity to meet some very very interesting people I would have otherwise never knew existed. Not to mention the relationships have grown so well that I am now connected to those same people on other sites like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.

My suggestion is, if you are going to do a post about G+, how about actually giving it some real content. Something like "The hangouts feature of G+ is nothing more that the integration of Google Voice. If you wish to use hangouts, you must download and install Google Voice" or How about "The web based chat functionality of google+ is gtalk. However if you use a mobile app such as an iPhone or Android the chat 'Messages' functionality of those apps is completely stand alone from the gtalk functionality of the web version."

My point is, don't cop out and write a generic post about G= that you can find anywhere on the web, including the landing page for http://plus.google.com. How about get in there, get an account, use it for a week, and write an article about all the ins and outs of G+, both good and bad. Give it a fair review. This post is not of LJ quality.

It will be hard to get people to switch from Facebook because people are creatures of habit. It's the same reason people still use Windows. Even when something better comes a long it's hard for people to switch.

But, Android holds a pretty good market share of mobile devices.
And, although facebook make work good on them, I think Google is going to intertwine Google+ with Android. Which will basically force people to use Google+ if you want some features they are offering. And this will get people using Google plus even if they only use it a little.

This is much like a Bing search bar in IE. I know many people who normally use Google to search the web, but because they did an update of IE and it installed the Bing search bar, they use it and don't even realize that they are using something other then Google.
