1213211 2011-06-29 11:34:00 Meh, it'll go down the same way as Orkut and Google Wave.

Problem is, everyone is already on facebook. Why would you switch to a network that has almost no one?

It'll fail, will do better than Orkut though - won't even be close to Bebo's numbers.

You'll be surprised at who many are waiting for something like an improved version of FB to come along. FB is just too crap, but the contact value is what makes peeps stick around.

1213215 2011-06-29 21:08:00 I'll happily jump ship in a heartbeat.

After I setup Diaspora a while back, it became blatantly clear to me that Facebook just wasn't geared towards anything aside from University students. With Diaspora, you did the same thing, and grouped your contacts. Then, if you wanted to share something with a particular group, such as your immediate family, or your soccer club etc.

Another friend tried to be a smartass on Facebook yesterday when I posted about Google+ and say "I'm not going to join up, Google knows enough about me already". Clever fella had 3/4 of his profile public too...

1213219 2011-06-30 00:53:00 Yeah there's so many little things that annoy me about it, I'd happily jump ship, if it wasn't for the fact everybody else is on it. Kind of the main reason of being a social network, the people you want to socialize have to use it also :p Chilling_Silence (9)
