Before you post a response like i love Google+ or it won't fail because it needs more time, read the whole blog post first. It's a rant and a good rant to read for sure.

In the past, I’ve not been shy about hiding my dislike for some of Google’s practices. In fact, I’ve called them everything from an arrogant bully to an incestuous circle jerk, trapped in a filter bubble world . But recently I’ve been reading all of the press and counter press about how Google+ is growing faster than the waistline of your average McDonald’s customer along with the incessant blood sucking social media guru’s top ten posts about how to leverage Google+ for everything from attention, mindshare, links, SEO, and Fritos covered with caviar. It’s all a bunch of BS: Google+ is doomed to fail.

But I haven't seen people appreciating the real concept of getting recommendations from people that they have experienced remarkable traffic growth or revenue to help on G+ campaign. 

The latest report by ComScore says that users spent only 3.3 minutes on an avg on Google+ in Jan while spending a whopping 7.5 hours on Facebook!! So no matter what Google does in order to promote Google+, at the end of the day, it is the users decision that matters the most.. 

Facebook has 8 years of hard work behind it so it will not be easier for Google to surpass Facebook. Since Google is the leader in searching & have many other products owner it will never rest in peace.
