As we all know, Google has finally launched its next Apps in social networking.
What you people think about its competition with other Social networking Apps (specially facebook)?

A poll is also added.

Thanks for the poll.

It will be hard for anyone to defeat Facebook.

Hub theory states that, generally speaking, the first major hub "wins"..... or something like that Smilie

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this be MySpace, rather than Facebook? I do remember that when it started people pretty much said that Facebook is for the "suits" since it's "cleaner", and that it will never be a real thread to MySpace for that reason. So I'll stay clear of any predictions on who will be number one at any time in the future.

Yes, I thought of MySpace when I posted; but I don't think that MySpace was ever really established as a "hub"... it was not used by the news media; and businesses like Facebook; so, at least in my mind, MySpace never "got there" as a true hub.... and that is why it ultimately did not make it. To be a hub, it needs to be socially accepted as a hub. MySpace was never really mainstream like FB.

Possible, however unlikely. Their creativity just doesn't seem to be that ingenious.

Last time I checked, Myspace was awful, and I don't want to torture my eyes again, as well as my browser.

I actually like Google+, it's far more neater than Facebook, there are no virtual cows, kisses, lucky phrases, etc, but let's see. I guess Google isn't really targeting beating Facebook, simply because it's not going to happen, as the latter is already established trademark for online social networks, with some deep integration at most websites.
