Google+ vs. Facebook & Twitter

Hey guys,

I joined Google+ a couple of days ago and I'm loving it, especially the "circles" concept where you actually sees and who doesn't see your posts. I would however love to know which of the trio sounds (or works best).
#facebook #google #twitter

    Well, all my friends and family are still on Facebook and not Google Plus and they don't really have any plans of using it ... actually, many non-marketer types have never even heard of it.

    I enjoy Twitter as a whole different experience since I got rid of all the followers and started over with no marketing messages in the stream.

    So at this point, I don't see it as a Google Plus vs Facebook vs Twitter.

    It's just an additional social network that oddly enough, looks a great deal like Facebook but with only a small fraction of the users. Circles are a nice addition, but so few of my real friends and family are there that it is sort of a mute point.

      It's definitely more of your tech savvy crowd that is on Google+. With that said, I do feel it has potential and I enjoy using it since my family is on it.

        Facebook and Twitter we still be the best source for traffic. IMO. However, it wouldn't hurt to give Google+ a try.

          Its always good to have more and more different sources of traffic !

          The more the number of traffic sources the merrier it is

          and yeah, the circles concept is super awesome!

    I'll be where my market, friends and family are. Currently that's Facebook. Google+ looks fine, but I see no point using it at this time. I would be just talking to my self.

    Now if Facebook makes a MAJOR screw up down the road that causes a mass exit to Google+, then I'll most likely follow my market, friends and family over to Google+.

    I think personally G+ will do brilliant, it is already gaining members at a rapid rate.
    Also FB may be the leading social network, but it has the lowest user satisfaction rate, google has a great satisfaction rate, this could prove to be the downfall of FB.
    In addition i understand alot of people wouldnt of heard of G+ but that is because G+ isnt allowing accounts to be created by anyone, an invite must be sent. So it is understandable why some people are in the dark, but there is no doubt that G+ will skyrocket.
    I personally think that FB is going to end up like Myspace, but only time will tell .

    Mix them all together for the best result.

    Facebook is probably the best for me at the moment in terms of sheer traffic available however I've started testing out G+ a bit and it's also excellent for promoting more "tech" related sites.

    Let people on your facebook page know about your g+ profile and on there tell them about your twitter etc. Just circulate the traffic so that you have a great following on every social networking website!
