Google+ is hot right now and it has not even gone public. It’s not perfect but I have to say that it has allot of potential to threaten Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Who the winner will be only time will tell. I have a sneaky suspicion that G+ is going for it all once they release the app to everyone. They are very smart on the approach they are taking to have members invited only, that technique will allow them to do capacity planning better and make projections on what they need to avoid system outages like Twitter for example.
My view on LinkedIn CEO’s silly comment that no one has time for G+ is he better wake-up before LinkedIn joins MySpace and becomes LinkedOut.
LinkedIn has a outdated policy on how to connect with other connections. You can connect to only people you know. Some user are flagging invites to connect as spam, that’s not spam unless you get hit up everyday with an invite from the same person. Those users need to get real to not flag invites as spam, they seem to be the type that jump under the bed when they get an invite from a person that they don’t know. These people should feel complimented that someone found you interesting and want’s to reach out and make a connection and in return you flag them for spamming. Just ignore them or send and email back saying thank you for reaching out but I do not want to make a connection. Don’t jump under a bed and hide.
My take on Facebook and Twitter is they need to follow G+ closely and continue to improve their products.
