Google plus has potential to be bigger than Facebook

July 1st, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

From all that I have read from the beta of Google+ many people are saying it is great, yes it does have its flaws one of which I wrote about yesterday but as stated that is why they beta test these things, to get more information to make it better before it goes live. The big thing that can make Google+ bigger than Facebook is that Google has at least over 1billion people using Google in some capacity and Google+ will just enhance that for the user. There is no wonder that Facebook teamed up with Bing to share friend information on what they like when you are search because Google+ will have that as well. The other key is the developers. From what I have read over 30% of Facebook users use applications off of Facebook. Now if you buy stuff from these games or applications Facebook takes about 30% of the revenue of those games. With the amount of money Google takes in from other revenue streams they could simply take nothing at all from these developers which would make the Google+ platform that much more appealing to work on. So there you have it so far some compelling reasons why Google+ could be bigger than Facebook.
