You had a nice run at #1 – the longest ever, actually. Sure, I’ll still use you for certain things, like talking about how awesome Dirk is, but you’re no longer my go-to resource. Maybe you’ll do something to pull back ahead, but it sure won’t be by foisting your sub-optimal chat upon me.
With asymmetric following & greater control over access, G+ is just more interesting…already. What’s amazing to me is that this opportunity was sitting there for Google some 5 years ago. You’ve always had my email lists, my chat logs, my calendar scheduling. You knew who I work with, what my business strategies were, what websites I run, what websites I visit, and what I look for every day.
And for 5 years you’ve been sitting on this opportunity. So long, it seemed, that it had completely passed you by. But with one quick surge, you’ve shown me that opportunities in this crazy web world last longer than I’d thought.
And now, you are my #1 most interesting social network. Just like that. Wow.
