There are some special functions that I think make me like Google+ more attractive than Facebook to me.
The function which been most talked about of Google + is the circle. This function lets me easy to management the people I pay attention to and share issues. Use circle function, I can send status updates to specific groups. For example, I can create a music circle for friends, so I can only share the music video I just creates in the circles. Instead of friend people on facebook, I can +1 people to my specific circle now.
Another function which been often mentioned of Google + is the video group chat ---Hangouts, it can let 25 users most have video chat at the same time. When the user chat, each conversation object will appear on the small box, the speaker will appear at the top of the big window. Although recently, Facebook and Skype cooperate that video chat will be introduced into Facebook, but it only supports one-on-one conversation.
But I can not abandon facebook easily, I still can share cool links to fun or stupid youtube videos, game sites, or music reviews with their friends. And Facebook is always like a party where all your friends are having little conversations. You can listen to, interact with or ignore anyone you want. In addition, there are some advantages that Facebook has and Google+ can not catch up with in a short time, like the huge database Facebook has. According to the estimate of Facebook, every month their users upload 4 billion of articles, including news story, personal status updates, birthday wishing etc, also uploaded 850 million images and 8 million segments of video. Anyone wants to access these things can only through Facebook, and Facebook treat these information as private data, the vast majority are shielding to Google's search.
However, Google+ is still young, it has great potential. One day it will overtake Fcebook and become the most popular social media.
I prefer to use facebook than Google+ honestly because a lot of my friends there. Like you said, Google+ might take over this social media world, but I doubt it would happen soon. Facebook will be forced us to have timeline. That would be a huge change. However, still many people are on facebook even though facebook has changed dramatically. As long as facebook has a lot of users, Google+ will not be able to be on top of the social media.
回复删除I am a huge fan of Google+ plus (I actually prefer it Facebook). Like most Google products, it's functional and easy to use. A lot of people know about Google+, but why don't they use it? I think it's because people are inherently afraid of change. They get used to the way things are done on Facebook; they get comfortable with one medium and that comfort prevents them from trying something new.
