Twitter Needs To Watch Its Tweets Google Plus Is Catching Up
May 29, 2013
When Google joined the social networking circle, users bemoaned it was too late to join the ride, simply hanging on the coattails of Facebook and Twitter. Quite the opposite appears to be happening, however, according to the Business Insider article, “Google Plus Is Outpacing Twitter.” GlobalWebIndex reports that Google Plus has outranked Twitter as the number two social media service. Google Plus continues to add users at a high rate, the reason is most likely due to Google streamlining its services—you log into one and you are signed into all.
Google Plus has become more of a social meeting environment, like the AOL chat rooms of days of yore. Facebook is better to use to maintain connectivity with established friends. Google is taking advantage of this offering and hopes to expand its offerings:
“’We’re extremely happy with our progress so far, and one of our main goals is to transform the overall Google experience and make all of the services people already love faster, more relevant, and more reliable,’ Google said.”
Not many people have Google Plus accounts, yet everyone seems to have a Facebook account. Google Plus is still in that phase between societal acceptance and select-few usage. Give it another year and time for Facebook to go down the tube more and it will catch on. Twitter may have reason to fear, but not enough to stop chirping.
