I greatly prefer Google+. I wish there was an easy way to get everyone to move over.
It allows you to manage your social life FAR better than FB and if you have an Android phone, you can make its content sooo much more seamless. Additionally, the default privacy is far better and much easier to setup/understand.
However, I can definitely see why FB is valued as it is and it will take a lot for anything else to really replace it. |
these sites ONLY have value due to their advertising capability. Without advertising they are worthless. FB has a challenge to prove the advertising streams can work and continue to work.

Why wouldn't their ad streams continue to work? Facebook has more access to your private life than any other ad stream out there. The way they can data mine your interests and tailor advertising to suit is unmatched and Internet advertising itself would have to fail for Facebook to fail. There's no company better positioned for direct customer advertising than Facebook. Not even Google is as well-positioned for advertising and they know it. That's why they created G+ in the first place.

GM have just ditched advertising there due to it being a waste of money
The big challenge for facebook is the lack of advertising on the mobile access... more ane more people will only access FB via mobile so they need to find a way to advertise on the mobile site otherwsie other advertisers will lose faith. Now they are a listed company everything will be much more transparent so we shall see.

Intrestingly GM also just ditched Superbowl Advertising.
In general I think it may have less to do with facebook and more to do with something tied to GM/Cars/ or just a new advertising belief.
They do need a way to make mobile ads work better though. That I agree with.
