Facebook Is So 2010!

mrrockfordFacebook is so 2010!  Why do I say that?  It’s simple.  Facebook has an amazing amount of users,  I have seen numbers between 500 million (daily users) and over 750 million (user base).  They are adding newer and bigger features to the site.  They are announcing new and possibly ground changing deals with several large players in the Internet world. 

This is where Facebook becomes so 2010.  They have a huge number of users that can topple the Facebook environment when the users feel they have been run over.  Facebook has made its users unhappy in the past but there was really nowhere for these unhappy users to go.

Now there is.  Entering from the colorful corner is the heavyweight champion of search – Google! 

As of Wednesday  28 September, 2011, Google has opened its Social Media platform Google+ to the general public.  All you need to join is a Google account.  Don’t have one?  Get it here google-plus-32.

Google + is not just a Social Media platform, it is turning into a great business tool also.  With the changes just recently made to G+’s video chat app, Hangout, businesses will be able to be more productive. 

3 of those extras are:

  • Screensharing: for when you want to show whatever is on your screen
  • Sketchpad: for when you want to draw, doodle, or just scribble together
  • Google Docs: for when you want to write, plan or present something with others

Now business users and be productive and social at the same time.
