The internet is beginning to feel a lot like high school to me. The cool kids have their cliques on Twitter, and the trends move so fast its hard for someone who isn’t absolutely absorbed in the world to keep up. Thankfully, the world of social media is one I understand much better than the social hierarchy which took place in the halls of my high school. The latest trend is search juggernaut Google’s latest foray into the world of social media, Google+.
As many people may or may not remember, Google has already tried to carve out a chunk of the social media pie before. Unfortunately, their last attempt, Buzz, failed miserably due to a number of privacy issues that the company did not see as a problem. Add in the fact that the service had little to no innovation attached to it, and had nothing actually “buzz”-worthy about it to create any type of shift or impact in social media.
