I’ve been busy for the past couple of months and not commenting on much, but I’m very curious what we’re going to be looking at as Google+ evolves.
Facebook may be losing popularity in some areas without any help from Google. Meanwhile, people are apparently trying to sell the opportunity to access Google+ via eBay.
It may very well go this way, at least in some circles.
I’m not saying that it’s a meaningful comparison that Facebook is losing users for its free service while there’s a sort of black market developing for access to Google’s, but I bet there are some comedians out there who are playing this situation for humor value.
It looks like they’ve been working on this for a while, so it seems like they just got very lucky that they happened to hit their launch at a time when Facebook is already showing some weakness. If the service turns out to be as good as some reviews are saying, there could be a lot of entertainment value coming up in watching how Facebook reacts.
