Anonymity shmanonymity

Here is my bold statement of the month: I wish all my friends would use Google+ for their online social agendas. I’m not anti-Facebook, I just don’t like a lot of things about it. I also thing G+ has a lot more to offer (not to toot my Google horn or anything) to a variety of audiences. Yes, Facebook does very well with connecting all demographics to persons of interest. I just think Facebook is lacking the team that Google has. I just fear Google is too “hip” and “mainstream” for the general internet user. It’s a lot of actual information streaming on G+, and a lot of “look at fluffy rollover!” on Facebook.

And I really like hangouts. Skype used to be the next coolest thing after sliced bread. What happened to the video chat mania? I can never get more than two people to hangout at a time, and one of them doesn’t even have a camera. I think I have this desire for all my friends to pow wow on G+. I just don’t know why people don’t video chat anymore. The internet has enabled us to be creatures of anonymity.

So the problem with everyone using G+ is no one will ever leave Facebook. And I’m not asking them to do so, just to add G+ to that queue of daily checked sites. Here’s why I think Facebook will never leave, as written by JeffBullas.com:

1. One in every nine people on Earth is on Facebook ( This number is calculated by dividing the planets 6.94 billion people by Facebook’s 750 million users)
2. People spend 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook
3. Each Facebook user spends on average 15 hours and 33 minutes a month on the site
4. More than 250 million people access Facebook through their mobile devices
5. More than 2.5 million websites have integrated with Facebook
6. 30 billion pieces of content is shared on Facebook each month
7. 300,000 users helped translate Facebook into 70 languages
8. People on Facebook install 20 million “Apps” every day

 

Enough rambling for one day. I ramble a lot.
