Googling Yourself Just Got Cooler

Google + is projected to hit over the 100 million user mark tonight. It still seems no one is posting anything or doing much more than hitting the "connect" button on Google +, but maybe this milestone will help it find its place in the social media world.
 Google recently introduced "Search + Your World." This is a merging search and social media. It only works when you're logged into your Google account while searching, and is very similar to the Bing feature Facebook has with their search. It allows you to search within your circles. It seems to be taking "sharing" to a whole other level. It also only brings privacy concerns to a head and Google + may very well have a niche, but its way off target in trying to do what has already been done.  

Many contest that Facebook to be just a fad that will soon pass, I disagree. More than any other platform, Facebook in itself is a marketing machine that all other social media outlets rival, and will need to catch up to. Although new timeline features are leaving some confused and annoyed, since Facebook's early days as a college Freshman, the phrase "Did you see on Facebook" has only become more prevalent in my daily life.

New social media platforms being introduced, such as "Pintrest," show that society has become click happy, and wants everything at their fingertips. We want to share our every thought, opinion, and invention, hoping it will be uncovered, noticed, or at least "liked." The question is Google + the platform of choice to do it?
