This app is still a work in progress on features, but I know Google will deliver a superb product and brilliant social media site in the months to come. Google+ offers New features like your circles, huddles and multi-person video chat (vid chat is not offered on mobile devices, as of yet I hope)...etc. Did I mention users are 18 and older! --Leave all the kids at home! This is an adult social media playground.
Huddles, Stream updates, Circles and users are 18 and older! |
----Today when I signed onto #Facebook, I found some interesting new changes to its privacy features. These new features happen to look very similar to #Google+ 's current features. I find this especially interesting because I've mentioned before that FB's CEO has purposely joined G+ to poach G+'s features that FB was lacking...Or do you smell a merger in hopes to rebrand the face of FB...especially after having its image negatively smeared across the big screen of Hollywood for poaching the FB concept??!! PR move...could be!
To a public consumer, if FB has the same features as G+ then why leave FB for G+....right?
--Wrong! Social media movements have previously shown that having an "exclusivity" beginning, to a new up incoming social media site, gets a media trender to trend the word easily! Exclusivity to a media venture hooks in a consumer's needs and creates consumer demand (ex: someone getting tickets to an exclusive event, invite only...people want it and love it...and more will demand it and want it).
Remember MySpace?--During their social media movement, FaceBook offered the same "exclusivity": first to their fellow college students, then to their neighboring college students, then all college students, then to any person, a famed pet and now to any business with a side of ads!
Social media trends are exactly what they are said to be, trends! Trends, as fashion & technology has proven over many decades, it comes and goes because consumers are and always will be demanding NEW trends. To a business or social media site, being able to predict, start and/or keep up with these trends determines its potential future in this trending game. --Which is why it is safe to say, "MySpace who?" and "Oh I remember having FaceBook", because like it or not, consumers will demand NEW and Google+ will deliver it wrapped in a bow!
--This party is invite only and why wouldn't you want to party with Google?? I am!
What about Twitter you say? --Well they fall into a whole different social media movement. A Twitter profile is far from the vibe of a FaceBook, Myspace, or Google+ profile. Twitter profiles are not your personal scrapbooks of memories and pictures; it is more like an interactive magazine personalized to only the things you like to read about, talk about and RT about.
Don't fret Twitter fans, you're a whole other breed of social media, like FourSquare, consider it safe for now!
