Facebook Frolics 0
With social networking, you are not the customer, you are the product.
The Denver Post points out that it’s all about the tracking. A nugget:
Google couldn’t use most of that data to refine its search engine and other products, which is why it developed its own social network.
Since its debut nine months ago, Google Plus has attracted more than 100 million users. Although it lags Facebook’s 845 million, the number is far greater than Facebook’s tally at that stage in its history.
But Google Plus hasn’t proved it can hold users’ attention. Visitors have been spending an average of just a few minutes per month on Google Plus compared with six to seven hours on Facebook, according to the research firm comScore Inc.
