In this video Rocketboom gives a great overview of Google’s new product and discusses its possible future effects on Facebook and Twitter. 

It is too early to tell if Google plus will be a successful social media project after so many fails. The new platform took the best of both Facebook and Twitter, this resulted in a site with a pretty similar look and feel to already existing sites and it does not involve anything extraordinarily new. It is true that “circles” is a much needed feature and it is more usable than Facebook’s friend lists. This function is, however, easy to copy and will alone not be enough for the inflexible users to switch to a new social networking portal, which at the moment is only used by early adopters. Google needs to become more innovative and constantly come out with new ideas and improvements in the future instead of only copying what the others are doing if they want to be successful in the field of social media. What do you think? Will Google+ conquer the social media world?
