PC Magazine ran a poll of Facebook users, asking
will you ditch Facebook for Google+? Half responded that they would leave Facebook for Google.
PC's Leslie Horn writes:
Despite the poll's response, it's highly unlikely there will be such a significant exodus from Facebook. Facebook boasts a membership of 750 million people—375 million people just aren't going to quit the number one social network. But the results of this informal poll point to a bigger issue: people are increasingly annoyed with Facebook.
Google+ has only been around for about a month, so how it will perform in the long run remains to be seen. The comparison of Google+ to Facebook is unavoidable, and perhaps Google has launched its social network at just the right time to take a bite out of Facebook's 750 million users; the site has been plagued by low consumer satisfaction and pervasive privacy concerns.
Some FB users have hundreds of so-called friends. It would take nothing short of virtual flash-mobs to move their social circles from one social network to another.
