Every time a new social network comes on the scene there’s talk of it being a “Facebook killer,” a site that will draw users away from the most dominant social network on the Web. Although that term has been used to describe many up-and-coming social media platforms, no bona fide “Facebook killer” has emerged…until now.
Google+ has been growing at a staggering pace. After only two weeks, the social network had 10 million users. As you read this, Google+ may have closer to 20 million users.
The remarkable growth of Google+ has many experts wondering where it will stop. Most seem to agree that in the wake of the network’s early adopters, engagement and adoption will likely continue.
Chris Brogan, a renowned expert on social media marketing and online community building, is one expert that’s especially optimistic about the future of Google+. Recently, he even outlined his top 10 reasons why marketers need to pay attention to this new, but rapidly influential network.
Among the 10 things you need to know about Google+ are:
- It’s a social network made by Google, so it impacts search
- Google+ evolves from Gmail, which by itself has hundreds of millions of users
- Business pages are coming soon
- Google+ is already indexed and searched by Google
- Google’s commitment to the platform means it won’t be going away
Check out the complete list on Fobes.com to see why Brogan predicts Google+ to be a successor to the Twitter/Facebook throne.
