Mark Zuckerberg Speaks About Google+


It deoesn't feel strange to know that co-founder of Facebook , Mark Zuckerberg created his own Google+ profile soon after Google had the limited launch of its new social networking service. But what does Zuckerberg really think about Google's latest attempt to compete with Facebook in social networking business? Business Insider has some statements from Zuckerberg on that topic from Wednesday's press event when Facebook launched its video chat feature.


Zuckerberg doesn't had much to say about Google+. On the other hand he said that in the last five years we have seen more and more companies trying to put in social networking items into their applications and services. He adds, "We'll see a lot of companies who haven't looked at social begin to build it into their apps. Not just Google." He also says that we might see the streaming video company Netflix add some more social networking features. Overall Zuckerberg states, "I view this as validation of how this is going to play out over the next five years. Every app is going to be social. If we build the best service, there's massive value there. If we don't, somebody else will."

The article also says that Zuckerberg and other Facebook team members state why Facebook will still be the preferred social networking site. First reason he stated is that it is Facebook's main business while Google+ is just one of many different projects and divisions at Google. Another is how Google+ used the groups concept. The service lets users create "circles" of friends for various interests. This means some of your Google+ friends may not even know that you have put them in a particular circle. With the group feature on Facebook people are aware who is in which group.Lets see who gives the tough competition.
