It's only been a couple of days since I joined Google+ - but what if they threw a party and nobody came?
I appreciate that it's still in limited trials according to Google, yet everyone and his dog now seems to be hitting it, but at this stage it's still a little quiet, a little empty, very few of my friends are on it (let along those I follow via Twitter)... yet for all of this, it's got plenty of potential to trounce Twitter, which is looking distinctly dry, dusty and in desperate need of a bit of lippy by comparison. I'd be very afraid.
Of course the bigger question is will it have the potential to topple Facebook, will the Zuckerberg juggernaut roll on without so much as a blip on the radar, or will they successfully coexist? I'm not sure and can't see anyone who'd be willing to call it for a while to come. Facebook has plenty of mind-share which will be difficult for Google to overcome - when many people think 'social media' they think Facebook - but if any company can do it, you'd think Google was up to the task.
In the meanwhile, it could be a helluva ride.
