Is Google+ a Facebook killer? After little success with services like Buzz and Wave, Google has a less-than-stellar track record in the social network space. The recent release of Google+ has us wondering if it will be able to keep up with the likes of Facebook and LinkedIn. LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner and Hollywood superagent Ari Emanuel discuss the role that celebrities play in the success of social media companies. Weiner cites Ashton Kutcher's partnership with Twitter and Lady Gaga's partnership with Zynga. Meanwhile, Roger McNamee notices a precipitous decline in Google's search business, as a result of the iPhone and other mobile devices, which use apps to access the Internet instead of the world wide web. "Because search is falling, I believe that we're being liberated," says McNamee.
