Wow, cool to meet a G+ user in the wild (I knew there are some small communities but definitely very small)! I'm not in G+ or FB (much) because I'm not a social media person. But here I am lol....
As far as Google goes, are you suggesting Google to try to pick at Facebook while maintaining the G+ community so that both G+ and Steemit are up and sort of dilute FB's power? (And you get to continue using G+ :))
Yeah I don't really see it happening though.
As far as that video goes, it's quite crazy just how much of a role Facebook itself has on many global events... Wow.
Yes, that's precisely what I was suggesting. With FB eating our posts, it's clear that they already see us as a threat. My idea was as you said, divide and conquer.
I admit that it's incredibly unlikely, but it just tickled by fancy a little bit, ya know? =)
