I think that's asking too much for a blogging system where it has free and wastly used alternatives. You guys need to put up a video and/or a presentation, some visual candy so that people would know what they are about to get.
the example in the main page does not show anything that is being backed up by a blogging system. it's just text and a hyperlink.
So it will be a bootable FS eventually.
I believe `Angry Birds` is a good example of it. It's success did not come from the idea at all. A simple game with a good execution and good marketing made it so popular.
Agreeing with the article; I just want to add that hearing people's ideas also put you into an awkward position. They give you responsibility of either not doing that application without that person's consent or sharing a revenue.
You usually don't need neither, because as a developer you're already putting more mental work on how to come up with better apps than some friend's mother of yours.
And hearing people like they invented the wheel all the time really is boring.
Weird thing is many articles comparing these two social networking sites fall into same problem. These services are dynamic and with every feature they implement, they put a new value in the market, thus they change the balances.
I think it's great that finally facebook has an "alternative". I think it's great that a software giant is in this game now. This will fasten things up and increase overall quality (hence the comptetetion).
Long in short: too early to judge and compare g+ with fb. G+ has great potential.
seemed pointless to me.
