Google+ vs. Facebook reminds me very much of Social media in Egypt vs. Egyptian mass population. Let me add some details: Google+ (adopted by socially active people), vs. Facebook (adopted by almost everybody.)
Google+ Hangout vs. Facebook Video reminds me of the Yes vs. No (pretty heated) online debate Egyptian people used to have, online, regarding what, people, should be voting for when it came to whether or not they agree on the constitutional amendments. Although online it seemed No had it all wrapped up, actual votes came in at 70%+ Yes.
Google+ can win the debate all it wants amongst some of the cool kids of the online block. But in reality, let’s just remind ourselves we live in a world with 749,000,000 other people. Actually, in reality, it’s dumb to even consider comparing which will break new grounds.
I’m not a big fan of Facebook, in fact, I once actually deleted my Facebook account. (No, I don’t mean deactivate. I mean actually deleted it.) But I re-registered. I re-registered because it is the social network of the era and I needed it to socially connect.
