Social media has earned it’s way as one of the most useful and efficient was of communicating these days. You can not turn anywhere and not find someone using social media networks including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Finding lost friends is one of the most popular uses of these such mediums besides networking and communication.
In the world of social media there is one clear leader and that is Facebook. Up until now there really hasn’t been any social platform that has given the social giant any worries. Google Plus has been touted as the “Facebook Killer” and so far it is holding it’s own. The competition has started and only time will tell if Google Plus is a real competitor or not.
One of the biggest challenges of social networking sites is privacy. No matter how many options Facebook has, it still faces problems with one of the most important requests, privacy. With Google Plus your privacy settings are better organized and easier to manage. With that said, Google is not out of the firing range for their privacy settings.
Since the launch of Google Plus, more and more fans are given their high praise about the new social networking site. With Circles you can specify which friends you want to see certain info and with Hangouts you can video chat with others with added features. Google Plus’ feature list is more robust than Facebook and it resembles Facebook’s layout almost identically. With many surveys and comparisons of both platforms, Google Plus seems to be the winner in most. Facebook is now adapting some of the ideas from Google Plus to keep up with their development.
USING BOTH PLATFORMS
Google Plus claims to have crossed the ten million figure of users, which is still a small figure compared with Facebook’s 750 million. But then again, Plus’s numbers happened in the span of just one month. Nevertheless, the interesting aspect, which the analysts seems to be ignoring, is how almost all the Google Plus users are still on Facebook and are active there even though they like Google Plus. It will take some time for a complete paradigm shift.
