About Google+; is Facebook about to be Made Obsolete

There has been talk over the past few months of how Google+ is gaining users exponentially. I think this is partly because membership of Google+ is only by invitation from a friend which makes many people want to belong to this exclusive club. Google+ has apparently now started including games http://www.webpronews.com/google-games-now-its-on-2011-08/comment-page-1#comment-109101 This may probably make more people want to migrate to Google+. But I think the main reason that would make people want to move to Google+ from facebook is because most facebook users are dissatisfied with facebook privacy settings that it changes very often. If Google can assure users that their privacy would be guaranteed then it may cause a mass migration to Google+ from facebook thus making facebook = myspace. What do you think?

I personally do not want Facebook to become obsolete. I am an FB-user and it became easier for me to communicate with my students using that site. Furthermore, I already have thousands of picture uploaded in my account and I don't want them to be lost just like what happened in my Friendster pics. In spite of the attacks that has been hounding FB lately, I think that FB is a good site. They just need to do some tweaking with regards to their security settings. In addition, I think we all know the dangers of posting private stuff not only in FB but in any site for that matter. So, we have to exercise more care when using the Internet in general.

If they do it right, I'm sure a LOT of people will move there.

Lets hope they do it right and keep doing it right. I think a healthy competition is always welcome.

I can attest to the privacy of g+ because of the circles. When we post something we can choose to do it publicly or we can choose only the circles that can see our post. Because of that I love g+! I also like the concept of hangout where ten people can have a group video chat. I can dance there and let 9 pele watch me do it because of hangout!
