More signs Google+ is struggling - referrals dropping steadily

article published on 5 December, 2011

When Google+ was announced earlier this year, it was hailed as a possible Facebook killer. Despite their previous failure with Buzz, Google was looked at as the one company who might have the resources and know how to truly compete with the social networking giant.

It's so pathetic when I see things online w/ the share options and there will be like hundreds or thousands of Facebook/Twitter referrals and maybe only up to 10 or so Google+ ones.

Fancy that! I was just on Google+ for the Hell of it and it's lame, useless and pointless. No one uses that I know and frankly, anyone that actually thought this to be a "Facebook killer" should be bitch slapped!

As for FB............still in awe how many simple-minded simpletons are on this planet that actually love and live for FB. The site is a total clusterf*ck with no flow and is staggered. Hard on the eyes and just plain ugly. I have consistently said that by 2016(ish) FB will seriously start to diminish.

I mean..........who really F'ing cares what someone is thinking or doing "right now"?

I don't know why Google is so focused on developing a competitor to Facebook. Facebook has over 10% of the world's population, and is a mature service. But it's only generating about $4.3 billion in revenue this year ( http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-2...er-says-1-.html ). That's a ridiculously small return, and far below what Google gets selling ads on search.
