    I honestly thought when g+ came out everyone would hop on it and leave FB the same way everyone left myspace for FB. Kinda sad it didn't cause I think g+ is awesome even though I only have like 5 friends on it

    Instagram only 2 years old? Wow. Good money.


    He offered Twitter $500 million and they turned him down. They said regardless if they offered more, they would have turned him down cause they believe they are going to be worth more in the future.

    The thing is, social networking has nearly reached an apex. Google is honestly like 5-6 years too late on this supposed mass exodus of FB. Had G+ came out in around 05, there's
    no telling how much they could have cut into FB's advancement. Unless Google figures out a way to have holograms pop up in people's homes, G+ will continue to be the slight

    novelty project that it seems to be.

    In a related note, G+ has acquired 6 people that can hopefully explain what G+ is good for.

    Damn, Twitter and Instagram was what I used to get AWAY from Facebook

    6 months tops before Facebook makes an Instagram.com (it won't be exclusive to mobile devices) and it's inhabited by hoodrats and middle schoolers

    It was a private start up company so unless you gave the Instagram team some start up cash or you worked for Instagram you ate not getting any shared.
