In order to get up and going on my blog posts, I had to log into my non NEU gmail account for the first time in a couple of months. I noticed that I had a few Google+ messages, and had completely forgot that it existed.
When it first came out, my close friends and I started using Google+ a lot, neglecting Facebook for a few weeks, since they were the only ones I really kept in close touch with online anyways. One friend even deleted his Facebook to migrate to the Google network. That lasted no more than a month. Not a lot of people migrated and Facebook had all my pictures and friends already. I thought that Google+ would have taken off just because Google's always putting out a good product. It seems that Facebook is locked in pretty good, but something is going to inevitably take its place.
Since most of my friends and I will be graduating in a couple weeks and are looking for jobs, we're trying to keep our online activity to a minimum because everyone's always using HR horror stories to scare us from having incriminating pictures up. A lot of my friends are considering finally getting rid of their Facebook's permanently. I think there would definitely be a market for a new social network for the young professional crowd, I'm curious what it will be.
