If only there's a way to import my Facebook contacts to Google+ I'd have it done in a blink of an eye. As it turned out, Facebook do not allow that process at the moment.
I had my first exploration of the newest social network just this week. At first hand, i was impressed. The UI is so much more intuitive than Facebook. This isn't a review per se, but of all the things i want to share regarding this overnight success of the big G, is my hands down applause of how the social network is revolutionizing across the cyberspace. It's too early to compare and judge between Google+ and Facebook, yet the non-startling question is inevitable, "would Google+ surpass Facebook's success?". And along the line, will the loyalty of social network fanboys be with Facebook forever?
Reality check, to win over Facebook wouldn't be an overnight achievement, with their 750 million subscribers, i guess Zuckerberg coudn't help but sit still and relax. However, that was not the case, he had launched the Facebook+Skype partnership - the so called video calling on facebook, which until now, i haven't gone through, leaving me wondering if the app is a built-in or was it a thing to configure through the maze of facebook's settings. On the other hand, Google pLus' video calling is just a click away from one of the sidebars
Then again, i didn't mean to compare the two (but i really couldn't help), putting it side by side Google+ is a real threat for the dominative Facebook's current profile in the market.
Getting the feel of it, this new social network is a lot more privy than the others I've used to have like Friendster. I didn't actually look at the video and how-to-basics, instead, i head on immediately to set up my account as soon as i've had my invite, result?, it was flawlessly easy. Creating circles alone and the feature of drag and dropping the people suggested on the top bar made it simplier compared to adding the person as a friend.
On the downside, not many people have Gmail accounts. Having a Gmail is a pre-requisite so you can be able to sign-up. I think that this is keeping the "boom" from getting it more explosive to consumers who are not that techy. In brink of this, Google is trying to upgrade and implyingly affecting the attitude of consumers towards higher wisdom when it comes to setting up new technologies and innovations.
