Why 'Google Plus Not Facebook' phenomenon may happen?

There is no doubt that people are too addicted to Facebook. It would be quite tough for Google+ to gain some significant amount of FB users. As speculated as of now, users will still keep their FB accounts rather than deleting entirely their FB profiles. They may and certainly some will try Google plus for a while.

But the point is will that point come when user would completely disregard their FB accounts and come to Google Plus. I regard this 'Google Plus Not Facebook' Phenomenon. What can trigger this to occur might be anything [May be Google buys FB, who knows ;)] But seriously, if this is to occur there must be a lot in Google+ to offer.

Three important points that come to my mind:

1) The only obvious reason as of now that users might consider to switch from FB to Google+ would be the privacy and data protection issues. Some report that they are sick of their data being used to spam and send unwanted requests in Facebook. Now if Google really comes up with some innovative idea related to this menace, it would be a jump off for it. Or else, Google Wave could be repeated.

2) The second reason could be an absolute XSS attack free Google Plus platform. With no scope of scams. But this is a very big target to achive, since hackers will always find their way.

3) If Google Plus makes its platform very very easy to develop Apps and in some way give more benefits to developer, then a lot of FB App developers may switch to this platform. Definitely, more Apps means more user attraction.

I am totally with this new Platform. As change is Life. So does Google Plus seem to me as of now. But I fear the much hyped Google+ fancy features, for instance 'Circles', is not in a way enough to attract loyal FB users. And worst of all, FB might be able to clone that somehow in its current platform easily. The name might be different. But it is not at all any deal.

I am really keen to know about future developments in Google Plus, its formal launch, and what Facebook has in its store. And I promise to keep my readers posted. After all that is what this blog is all about. [PS: Click on Advertisements man. That is the only thing that keeps this blog alive.]
