Good article. Some recent PCWorld articles have appeared overly biased in favor of Facebook; it's nice to read one that is well balanced. Good job.

Google Could Ultimately Squash Facebook... really

Google could provide social users in all demographics an untapped wealth of information that is literally right under our feet.
Here's how.

1) Leverage Google Street View assets by shooting memorial parks; head stone, crypts, markers and so on. ( Many parks have client software so this could be used as well for data integration.

2) Leverage Google Goggles to read the text on same and auto tag.

3) Make this new app. searchable; any ONLY accessible over Google Plus.

4) Let people tag these images as well.

5) Give is a cool name like 'Google Generations'.

6) Let people use this to make connections like Ancestery.com ( but better ).

7) Now Google can have ( Google Ancestor Circles ). Users can use this feature to do some quasi - genealogy.

8) On an off-note or more playful use... maybe allow users to create a virtual head stone with their name and epitaph over top any image they want (Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Route 66...) Maybe even create a message linked to this that does not reveal itself until a future date set by the user; e.g.- www.timekapsule.com.

Btw, I don't think Google and Facebook can co-exist in the long run, but I think it may take quite a bit of time to sort out.

I think Facebook and Twitter co-exist because they are different types of social interaction and because Facebook is anchored in more of a PC ecosystem while Twitter is much more suited to mobile.

I think that Google+ could offer what Facebook offers (if they want to) but Facebook will never be able to compete with what Google offers.

The collaboration is optional, yet I still stick with Facebook, due to the accessibility and the portability.

I came across articles online saying that g+ is more of a twitter killer in the long term than a facebook killer.What do you guys think?? If thats the case, then questions should be asked if the trio of twitter,facebook,g+ can co-exist?

[effingreat]

Mark Zuckerberg deleted his G+ profile. Sour grapes!

Plus is two weeks old and harder to get into than Studio54, but this article has 85% as many +1s as Likes. Don't cry for Facebook... it's already dead.

Good bye Facebook

Interesting article but Yahoo wasn’t mentioned. We will have to wait and see how all this plays out. When it comes to internet services any company with deep pockets for programming and hardware support can provide the same services as any other company. So the competition, like in the retail game, comes down to who can provide the best prices and best services.

Well I believe people go where there is no bs. Like with Myspace how it became a little kid heaven and just very childish. I enjoyed FaceBook until all the spammers hit and than I felt like "Oh no, Myspace all over again." With G+ I feel it will be able to last along time without co-existing with FaceBook. Twitter is able to do it because a lot of tweeters don't like Facebook. I'm just a big Google freak and will stand by Google and it's products. G+ is great and it is my new number 1 site! Great article by the way!

I don't know what's bad about Facebook or Google to monetize our data. After all, they offer a "free" service, and the price to pay is being able to gauge what we tell the world and what we do not. If you are planning a crime on Facebook, don't blame Facebook for it being public and resulting in you going to jail.

People should be smart enough to already know that this is the INTERNET, nothing is private, and nothing will ever be.

If I do not want anybody to know about my fantasies, I'll not post them on my Google+ with the person I'd want to it with...

Be smart, cause you never know who's watching you.

I would love to leave facebook, my only concern is is their security betterthan face book

What a war..

Who will be the winner...??

"The response is a familiar one from Schmidt, who told 60 Minutes back in 2005 that Google believed it could coexist with Microsoft's relatively new Bing search client."

Bing wasn't announced until 2009.

Maybe I am odd, but I use Twitter, Facebook and Google+. When on my desktop, I post a quick comment on Google+ and it gets posted to Twitter or Facebook at the same time. There's no reason they can't co-exist. The question is will they.

Google+ does not have a direct message system. This is big negative for people who use Facebook to stay in touch with friends.

Google+ is good for sharing stuff.

Google+ is has better features related to sharing stuff. Facebook can clone these features and keep its social graph.

So far, I'm not convinced on using Google+ full time, except the fact that it is trendy.

Facebook and it's "Sell-your-privacy-for-MY-profit," attitude has to go!
