One other thing to remember when looking for the next Facebook or Google – many people are looking in the wrong place. Scott Fulton is right in noting that the next hot thing doesn’t have to be a better social network. And with reason – the next big thing will be the service that delivers more value to the customer than Facebook and Google currently deliver to their customers. And, for those who don’t realize it yet, WE are NOT Facebook’s and Google’s customers – the advertisers are Facebook’s and Google’s customers. We’re just the data.

Comment on Be afraid, very afraid because for some reason someone thinks I am an influencer by John E. Bredehoft

Wow – the power of metrics is demonstrated for all to see. I checked your profile, and saw that you were listed as an influencer for Google+, Hulu, Consumer Brand Marketing, Social Media, and Google. No mention of Windows or Microsoft whatsoever, despite the fact that you regularly blog on Windows and Microsoft.

Oh well. At least they didn’t list you as an Apple influencer.

So I checked another name – your old boss Duncan Riley. Not mentioned at all.

And Robert Scoble is listed in there three different times.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Comment on Google+ moron moment – no it won’t replace your blog by Rene

Can’t the same be said for email though?

People typically rely on Google for something as fundamental as email. Why is outsourcing blog duties to Google+ so much worse?

I agree and have been saying the similar for quite a while. I see people stop blogging and put all their efforts into Friendfeed, Facebook, Twitter and now G+. Of course all of these services are owned by large companies with revenue projections to meet or share holders to keep happy. That means you may have trouble moving your content to another service. In many instances you may not even OWN your content! Blogging will stick around for those of us who demand the content is our own to control and own.

Comment on Twitter needs to worry about Google+ – Not bloody likely. by John E. Bredehoft

If Google+ gets a half billion more users, they’ll truly be a threat to Facebook. Of course, that actually could happen – it was interesting that Google+ came out at about the same time as MySpace’s bargain-basement sale was being publicized.

The silliest one that I saw was the claim that Google+ was a threat to LinkedIn. Not yet…
