Make the Switch to Google Plus or Stay with Facebook?

Posted by David Guerrero

As Google Plus increases in popularity, everyone seems to be asking themselves, "Should I stay with Facebook or make the switch to Google Plus?Of course, Facebook has an established user-base who most  have spent months, if not years building their friend list, content and popularity. Amazing games that have the ability to keep users engaged for hours, and a phone app that lets you take all that, wherever you go.  Letting all that go for some users, it’s a life changing decision. This is where facebook comes ahead. Connecting their user's lives with their friends in so many ways, that almost makes it heartbreaking to cancel your account.

But what is Google's advantage in this battle? OVER A BILLION search engine users who use other Google products. Of course owning most of the online search market does not hurt either, for which they have the ability to impact search ranking, which no other social network can do.  Another cool advantage that keeps Google plus ahead of the game; A nice red notification box on the top right corner. So, regardless of which Google product you're using, you will always know what goes on in your G+ page.

All of Google Plus' amazing features are still not a Facebook Killer... Yet... Even in the online dating world, if you do not have a Facebook page, you're not trust worthy. In the college world, if you do not have a Facebook page, you will miss out on all the popular events...The point is, Facebook is here to stay... Google Plus, in the coming years will definitely chop off a big chunk of Facebook social network share, but who knows what else Facebook will come up with to increase their ever growing user base...

 

Which one are you staying with?
