I have been following this story with alot of interest and i am excited to think that a new rival and better social network maybe coming soon: For weeks, Google has been rumoured to be working on a new a big social network to rival Facebook . The company of course does not comment on rumors, but has not denied the concept. Details are scarce, but "Google Me" as it's commonly being referred to, will likely utilize existing Google profile pages, which are tied to Google Buzz. At the moment Google is making all YouTube users connect their accounts to a Google account, which could mean that all of these Google account holders become part of Google's massive social network by default. Without knowing Google's exact plans, it's hard to say exactly what benefits will become available that aren't already there, but you can bet that the implications will be big, and it might make all of Google's social properties more beneficial to businesses. YouTube is one of the most popular sites in the world. Add that to everyone else with a Google account. For the catering and Hospitality industry this can only be a good thing. With more networks comes more brand awareness and direct contact to new and existing customers !

So now we know what the 'big announcement' was, what does everyone think about the way it has panned out since launch?

I hadn't heard the rumor but it sounds good personally i have got bored of facebook and i think a lot of people have most use it as there isn't much out there in terms of big social networks that a lot of people like to use. and with just starting my own business I hope it has greater benefits for marketing a business combine with googles other products this could be great news in that aspect
To be honest lately I wonder why I am on facebook at all...most days there isn't much interesting.
I am on Google+ too, but here in England it looks like not many people are in there. Most businesses will eventually create their own page as all you hear in blogs and on the net in general is "why you should be on Google+". Google is obviously pushing it very hard. We will have to wait and see what happens.
