Google answered Facebook's question with a strong reply, how strong was it? We will break it down for you!
Imagine this, you can be geek in front of your colleagues, cool guy in front of the girls, calm and mature in front of your family. Now that's what Google Plus is offering you. Though Facebook tried these with their own version of "Lists". Google has taken the approach forward and tried to mimic the real life.
One of the main reasons for the success of Facebook is their applications and currently Facebook is taking 30% cut on every app developer's business. With $30 million dollar revenue, Google can easily grant the developers take all the profit. On top of that, Google has one of the fastest growing mobile platforms on their hand (Android), which will give them enough fire power to lure the developers.
Facebook has always been infamous for its clumsy and annoying privacy controls. Google+ scores well over in this regard; It is designed to make the privacy controls easy to use.
Google+ efficiently fuses the best features from Facebook and Twitter into visually easy to use social media platform. They can share with their friends and can also create a specific group of friends and pack them into a circle; it also gives them the option to follow others like Twitter.
Google has smartly placed the toolbar on top of every Google's product, it keep clawing you back to Google+. With 200 million Gmail users and 1 billion Google search users, they got biggest lottery one can ever imagine.
Facebook and Twitter is facing "the penalty of taking the lead" and Google+ is raking in by the mistakes made by the early adopters. Facebook showed the way by creating a bad reputation with their poor privacy models, Twitters openness to third party application and many more..
All things aside, there is one question nagging in my head all along, am I in the "Least Bothered People" circle or "People I want to stalk" circle??
