Why does everyone expect Google+ to be as fully developed as Facebook, a product that was launched 6 years ago.

I don't like Google+, but of the complaining about its lack of features is getting annoying. It's very apparent the Google+ team is working as fast as they can to implement their product plan.


My complaint isn't so much that Google+ isn't developed as what they are developing and releasing has been very underwhelming and lacks any cohesive path to increasing engagement.

Almost all successful social networks that succeed have relatively high engagement from the get go. Notice, I said engagement and not user-base(that usually takes time to grow and understandably so). Google+'s engagement sucks. And their user-base numbers are bloated: google can stick a call-to-action to any service on their homepage and claim millions of signups overnight. It speaks more about Google the search engine and almost nothing about Google+'s success.


We get it, you don't like Google+. That doesn't mean you have to take every thread tangentially related to the product and make a point to criticize them for not releasing engagement metrics barely two months after launch.

If you have any facts or statistics to back up any of your claims I'd love to continue the discussion. Wild speculation and opinions stated as facts? Not so much.


It is a fact that at 10M users, facebook was reporting engagement, notably that over 50% of the users log in every single day. (1)

It is a fact that google+ has 40+M users.(2)

It is also a fact that Google's exec refused to release any info. about engagement despite repeated attempts by journos. (3)

Given these facts, I think it is logical to conclude that google+'s engagement is poor.

3. http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/google_plus_engagement....


Google+ may not be as developed as Facebook, but that also means that it hasn't had as much time to develop a half-broken, shabbily-documented api.


I'll take anything on my Citizun profile
