Tools vs. Toys: Why The Timeline Changes Nothing
Yesterday Erick and I had an interesting discussion about Facebook vs. Google+ and I came down on the side of G+. Why? Because tools are important, toys aren't. Granted Facebook's 500 million visitors a day proves me wrong in numeric terms, but in general usability and quality, I'm coming reluctantly down on the side of Google Plus. As you well know, Facebook won the Internet with its app features and new timeline feature, a view of your data that offers a sort of time machine into the distant past. I saw pictures of my kids from years ago, their faces implike and far more natal than they are now. It was a great feeling but it lasted maybe fifteen minutes. Now Facebook is showing me a list of things that happened since I was born, a fairly impressive feat given I spent two thirds of my life without the Internet.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/REHaWO_zohk/
