Facebook or Google+ ?

The latest buzz around is about Facebook going premium and how it is going to charge its members money for their account . On the other hand Mark Zuckerberg claims on his twitter account that Facebook will always remain free. I doubt Facebook will ever charge its users with the user loyalty they have generated over the years, Facebook has become the homepage of many of the web users.

I remember the days when Farmville was a hit, it still is. We used to get up in the middle of the night to check if the crops in the field have grown, we din’t want to lose money and let them get spoilt. It was giving the actual farming experience. Even now there are few games and applications which are addictive and give the same feeling.


Wherever you are in the world, you want to get back home and the first thing you do after switching on your laptop is to check facebook and your notifications. The groups which help you keep in touch with your classmates while doing your assignments late night add brownie points to the Social Networking website.


A new kid is on the block, its none other than our Google’s own “Google + “ initially it was only giving limited access to people who were invited by others but now it has become public and heavy registrations are taking place. The buzz around is, if Google + is going to beat Facebook? Will people still come to Facebook after exploring and getting flexible with the new social networking toy “google +” ?

Well for that we’ll have to wait and see. For now , In my opinion – Facebook has established itself and is a brand in itself and people will no matter what come back to Facebook at the end of the day. What happens in future, only time will say!
