It has not been launched yet. Nonetheless it is being talked about in very positive words and everyone seems to be smitten by it. So are we closer to yet another great product from Google, the search and advertising czar.
Google started off as a search engine. Initially it tried to find ways to satisfy its investors about its viability and its ability to generate fund and make profit. But when it discovered the moneymaking ability through its small adds on every other page on the internet, everything else fell in line.
Now it is the biggest advertisement agency along with being the largest search engine with close to sixty five percent of the search engine market across the world.
For the last two years there has been increased talk of Facebook overtaking Google not just in its reach but business as well. Facebook at one point of time was increasing its membership at menacing speed.
But now things are changing. Even before Google Plus became a talking point, there were reports that Facebook membership in its key markets in Europe and USA was declining. In the last few months alone Facebook lost close to 16 million users in the US market. And mind you, US market is financially most important market in websphere followed by Europe.
Now with Google Plus, facebook is now facing an existential threat from the internet giant that has killed many big time players in websphere. Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN just to name a few were among the top players. But they don’t remain at the same level any more.
So is it the turn of Facebook to face the onslaught from Google with Google Plus? During the more than a week it seems that everyone has been smitten by Google plus and its affiliates including Hangouts, circles besides other Google Plus adages.
