Sure, there’s a social networking aspect to it, but Google Plus is really Google’s version of Google. It’s the groundwork for a level of search quality difficult to fathom based on what we know today. The point is, once Google Plus has every blogger, every small business, lots of gamers, lots of YouTubers, etc., actively using the product, they will continue to use all that new data to make even more of their products more awesome.As soon as Google + launched I knew it was going to be huge. I can’t say I’m right all the time…and I still haven’t been proven 100% right on this one. People called me crazy. They still do.It’s undeniable, if someone if using a search engine, there’s a very good chance that it’s Google. It’s the most popular search engine in the world. They own the majority of search results on the web, and also have a huge influence on the way businesses are displayed. Google essentially has the power to make or break a business sheerly based on how they rank in search.Google + connects the dots (or at least has the potential to) for the search giant. If they can make it work, there are limitless opportunities for businesses which are opened up. I’m not too sure if it will grow to the same size as Facebook as a social network alone, but I think it will end up attracting a more mature audience.Of course Facebook isn’t going down without a fight! They are going to do everything they can to stop you from transitioning all of your photos and friends from its platform over onto Google +. As just one sign that Facebook fears the mighty Google, they quickly blocked contact uploads from Gmail, so that you can’t search your email contacts to discover which of your friends are on Facebook. A petty move I thought, but maybe it’s just one sign that Zuckerberg is fearing the inevitable…So, going back to G+ in this image…Google is starting to have the last laugh.
