Happy fun times for all.

Heard a few months back that google were in the process of creating a social networking site, I think its going to be a big blast and is going to cause people to leave twitter and facebook.

I read they've had numerous attempts at cracking this Market and had flopped. I doubt they'll attract many people from facebook or Twitter

I think they should just let Twitter and facebook be tbh

People might join but they won't leave Twitter or Facebook. I highly doubt there will be such a gap between these as there was between MySpace and Facebook. Apart from the occasional bugs, Facebook is the perfect social networking site - and after the recent update those bugs may well have been sorted out. I guess Twitter is pretty unique as well, so people who use it will probably stick to it.

Unless this turns out to be somehow a million times better than Facebook, I don't see how it's going to take off. From a personal point of view, the only reason you join a social networking site is because you know a lot of its existing members. So being brand new with no members, I'm not sure how it can set the ball rolling.

On Buzz Out Loud yesterday they said it was just a gmail feature and they weren't touting it as a social network thing. So idk, if it is a "social networking site" its fail imo.
