— "The thing is the G+ hasn't failed. It has a ton of users and if some proper money and attention were put towards promoting it."

— "No reason why Facebook won't drop to the wayside within a few years like Myspace, Xanga, or whatever other old networking sites from last decade."

That's kinda the way I use Twitter now.

If 512MB of RAM costs $15... multiply that by 20 million or so... and it saves Apple about $300 million.

I think Apple is suing Samsung for more than just "it looks the same"

If those patents were granted... Apple must protect them.

— "I think part of the problem people switching to G+ have had figuring it out is they think it is somehow fundamentally different than facebook. its not. Its just another social network."

I'm one of the 40 million users... as are a dozen of my friends.

— "I don't think MOST people feel a need to operate outside of the "share with all my friends" model, and would feel awkward having to specifically think about, and select circles, for each post made. It's extra work that only the minority of people on Facebook would think was a benefit."

I'm not trying to defend Jobs... but I bet most billionaires are assholes.

The thing is.... almost everyone is addicted to Facebook... or at least uses it regularly.

Yeah... I scored an invite from a friend who posted on Facebook (lol) and I even invited a few more of my friends as well. All while it was still in beta or whatever.

I think the difference is.... Facebook stated in 2004... and opened to the public in 2006...

Very true!

Google+ wasn't beta for that long... a few weeks, right?

Yep!

Exactly.

Exactly!
