The 4m estimate is an old one. As of 2 days ago, the estimate was at about 10m - albeit, with no corroboration or any hard facts to the contrary. >Most of the threads i ve come across, have addressed 1 issue, will Google + >become more popular than facebook >my gut tells me, not a chance > >Looking at gmail, it became popular due to some inherent weakness in the >existing mail platforms, and it was just a matter of time, for a new player to >sweep this market > >yahoo had a 100 MB limit (could have been less), gmail promised 2 GB and >promised that you will never delete any mail, > >I dont see a similar loophole that Google + will exploit, especially since >facebook isnt resting on its laurels, Uhhm, i beg to difer, Facebook has take quite some beating on its privacy stance and google seems to leverage this very well with easier more convenient grouping mechanisms and this is just one. This is on the tight integration with the other Google services (One-stop-messaging) and i say there will always be a loop to exploit. > >what is amusing is that Mark Zuckerberg has an account on google +, even >though google + has no celebrity verification, good sources point to the fact that its authentic, Zuck's Account is authentic - if Robert Scobles' tweets are anything to go by :-) Regards, _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
