]]> Comment on What to make of Google+ by Lorna http://sparkcomms.co.uk/wp/index.php/2011/07/what-to-make-of-google/#comment-7 Lorna Wed, 20 Jul 2011 14:15:56 +0000 http://sparkcomms.co.uk/wp/?p=873#comment-7 If Google can really address the business market, then it can overtake Facebook in my opinion. Facebook is and, from what I can tell, always will be a consumer-focused social network. The businesses that have made FB work for them are those that are using it with the sole interest of reaching those consumers to sell products or just generating consumer buzz - Nike and T-Mobile spring to mind. If Google can create a social network with the real-time communication of Twitter, the networking functions of Linked In and the sheer popularity of FB, I can see it being the market leader within 6 months.
