A Whole New E-World

As of June 28, the newest buzz on the social networking horizon is Google+, the latest venture of the $46 billion internet giant by the same name (minus the '+'). Facebook, eat your heart out, after only a single day, Google+ beta-user invites were disabled due to sheer demand alone. Now, the closest thing you can get to an invite is an email waiting list, available for sign-up here.

So now, the interest is alight with the question "what happens next?". Like all social networking sites, Google+ will not become a viable source of 'social networking' until enough people are online to make updating worthwhile. Basically, Facebook would be useless if none of your friends had it and Google+ will be useless until it reaches a tipping point. Keep in mind this is less a matter of 'if' and more a matter of 'when', but what I'm interested in is Facebook. Specifically, will it be capable of living harmony with this new addition to Interweb, or will it do what Facebook did to Myspace?



What do you think Internet people?

    I really want to try Google+ but at the same time..do I want to juggle twitter, facebook, blogger, and google+?

    It's a big ask trying to maintain your real life and your e-life when they keep bringing out more and more "must have" social websites.
