This is an extremely well put article. The series of events and the way that it was written kept me reading it to the end. It was a very interesting article.

Hah, I prefer the hacker news version. The nyt one is kinda not appropriate.

I would be interested to know the architecture of the application/s to make it seamlessly work for all those phones.

Suggestions?

I don't think Facebook will always be as relevant as it is today. I think it's relevance will eventually fade away, and be replaced by something else. But, I just don't think it will be replaced by something like G+.

I can see G+ becoming more and more popular. But not becoming as relevant as facebook for social.

I agree with you, in that the seamless integration into the Google experience is definitely a plus (I could not help adding the word "plus" into the sentence).

Sorry for the typo. I like G+. And I agree with your #2 and #3.

Maybe am seeing it the wrong way. Maybe there will be a time when there will be two or more big social networks. And you will have to use all of them.

I can see how G+ could become part of the Google services. Enhancing what you already do with the google services.

But still, I just don't see G+ being a Facebook killer.

I agree on the backlash against facebook, I think this would be understandable user behavior. The problems I still have with Google+ are two:

1. the name, there is not a simple way to make it a verb, would you say you are "plusing" or how would you say that you want to plus me?

2. it would be difficult for it to become as popular as facebook because there are alreasy lots of social graphs in facebook already established. The argument that users would change because of the privacy TOS is flawed, because many users don't care about the privacy stuff.

For registering a new domain I would recommend google apps, because of all the google apps integration to your domain. And if you are looking for server hosting I would recommend linode.

I also code and I love philosophy. It was not my major, luckily my love for computers seemed to have been just as strong, and I picked CS which is something that pays the bills.
