What Google+ Will Never Tell You…
Social Media Broken Down By Personal Connection
Facebook: Has become the Big Mac of personal connection: it’s more who you don’t let in, than who you do. It means everything, and nothing at once. Google, and Linkedin and Twitter before, have seized on this.
Google+: The dark, tall, and sexy person of your dreams at the bar who buys you a drink. At that moment you go, ‘Am I a friend?’, ‘Will I have mind-blowing sex?’, ‘Is that just my cousin?’, or ‘Oh shit, this drink really came from the dude next to her…who’s my boss’. That moment of profound quandary is the circle-questioning that makes Google+ so vital.
Twitter: The adolesent kid. Never know what you’ll get. Followers typical include ADHDers, people who really care, or people who don’t. Or it’s just a newsfeed.
LinkedIn: You at a job interview in http-world.
