Google+ versus facebook

Google+ is a combination of Twitter and Facebook. Google+ has more features than any other social networks. It's been perceived as a fierce competitor in the social network industry. However, many people question about its effectiveness. I myself is a fan of Facebook and I think Google+ has too many features. Nearly everyone has a Facebook account. Facebook is now dominating in social networking with 750 million users and is still increasing. Google is still beta limited version and its traffic has dropped. This is not a good sign to Google+. There are many issues for Google+. People must use their real name and it only allows individual profiles. Google+ claims that it offers better privacy and is more better and easier to use than Facebook.

These are the articles I read about Google+:

What do you think about Google+? A failure or success?
