Bit.ly, Facebook and the state of Google+.
Rather than rewrite full posts, here are a few recent items that have been posted on Google+ and generated some good discussion:
Articles calling Google+ a ghost town are annoying but so are those rebuttals from "Plussers" wearing rose-tinted spectacles. There is often no smoke without fire so this is a warning.
Facebook admits mobile is a problem and with all the talk of it building an OS or even a device Facebook will need somewhere else to go to further its graph. Where will it be?
Has bit.ly stolen a march on Google?
I previously proposed that Google could use a mixture of +1s and the goo.gl URL shortener to create a social bookmarking service. Bit.ly has pivoted and offers virtually everything I suggested. Will it work? Should Google do more with +1s?
