<h2>The Pink Panther of Social Media</h2>
<hr/>
<div class="entry">
<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><iframe src="https://api.tweetmeme.com/button.js?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seopositiveltd.co.uk%2Fblog%2Fthe-pink-panther-of-social-media&style=normal&b=2" height="61" width="50" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div>
<p><a href="#"></a>The Pink Panther has been sneaking around the social media scene recently, but not in the form of the pink cat we all know and love. The Pink Panther has taken the shape of Google Plus. The network finally opened its’ gates to the public by crafting a huge arrow from the search bar, to the Google + button.</p>
<p>If we followed the melody line that created the Pink Panther theme, we are taken directly to <a href="../blog/category/facebook">Facebook</a>, the one thing stopping Google Plus becoming the leading social network. We should all be aware of the fact that Facebook has very recently release a tonne of new features and put them all together in a new layout, no doubt an attempt to keep Google Plus at bay,<br/>
Google is primarily a search engine, with an extremely complex algorithm that no one, besides Google, knows 100%. That said, they must be able to put together some ideas about Facebook and how to beat them. When Facebook decides to update the platform with new features or a layout, the users are never happy and always complain. Google obviously cottoned on to this and realised that this is the perfect opportunity to bag some extra users in the epic war between the two networks.</p>
<p>We must ask if Google has done enough for their network. Ok, they have 50 million users now and considering that they have only recently been released to the public, which is astonishing. However, all they have really done in terms of developing the network is updating the features slightly, nothing new has been added. What was already available in the somewhat primitive versions of Google Plus are still available now. They are finer tuned than what was previous, but nothing new has been added, especially if you compare G+ to FB, seen as Facebook added tonnes of new features which have mostly likely been caused by Google.</p>
<p>The big G hasn’t really done much to advertise the network either, all that has been done is they added an arrow to their homepage, which came down on Googles’ 13th birthday anyway so it was only visible for a few days. This arrow is not extensive advertising and we all know Google could do much better. Besides the arrow, the only other form of advertising has been left to the users of Google Plus.<br/>
So why has Google done this? The one and only reason is <a href="../blog/category/facebook">Google </a>wants its networkers, or those with potential, to be hooked by the slow rise of buzz about Google Plus. Once they are hooked, they will be more inclined to snoop around the <a href="https://www.twylah.com/laustinseo">social network</a> and slowly get to grips with it. Then when they finally have the hang of it, they will see for themselves the differences between G+ and FB, or whatever platform they were using.</p>
<p>Google have taken the country lane to get to its destination of being the top social network. They want the journey to be slow, enjoyable, and most importantly a natural route. To the present, it has seen 50 million users join the ranks of Google +, so we must play the waiting game to see if it becomes as dominant as it has become as a search engine.</p>
