I think its too early to tell, I also think that FB/Zuckerburg would not go down without putting up a hell of a fight.

I doubt it there's no reason to switch to a service that isn't doing anything different.

I do think it will do some cool things joining Google's many fragmented services though, and get a lot of use in different ways.

it will take time for the numbers to build and popularity to grow. users are supposed to give them feedback so they can make it better than fb. i think the format is great. they still have features yet to be released. the use of the circles makes a lot of sense to me. you can share different things with different groups of your friends. i think it will eventually become better than fb; but maybe not more popular

I always thought Google owned Facebook...maybe I'm getting it mixed up with YouTube. Is Google+ only available to Gmail accounts or is it universal? Either way, I think Facebook will remain the dominant social media site for distant future. That being said, look at what happened to Myspace. Time will tell.

They are causing up a stir ( if thats how you say it) by going the private and exclusive invite route, they are getting a lot of people excited and craving it. its smart. I think they will have a much better website, its just a matter of knowing if people will go through the effort of opening this and dropping facebook or having both.

It seemed fairly cool, none of my friends had it though so I saw no point in using it. Maybe another time.

We were all using Myspace or nothing like 6 years ago or something... It could happen.

I really don't think so, unless it changes a lot before beta is over. Right now it feels a bit too clunky.

That's super naive.

It may take a while, but something WILL overtake Facebook. It is just a matter of time.

I doubt Google+ is the heir to the throne, but you never know.

My thoughts exactly. Maybe not a quick change, but in my opinion facebook will not last forever..probably not more than 4 more years. At least not as prominently as it is now.
