But Google +1 will fail.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think this because I have done an in depth analysis of it&#8217;s features and tested it for the last 6 months it&#8217;s more instinctive, so take that for what it&#8217;s worth. My thinking is based on the following.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google does search very well, social is a different thing entirely<\/li>\n<li>Google isn&#8217;t hungry, failure will not move the share price or cause a significant bump in revenues<\/li>\n<li>Google can buy Twitter whenever it realises it can&#8217;t do social, so why try too hard<\/li>\n<li>Sheds of sock puppets are on standby to manipulate the system<\/li>\n<li>There is no void for Google + 1 to fill, we can already do what it offers and are embedded in other networks<\/li>\n<li>Social networks are powered by fundamental forces like sex, money, social approbation etc. I don&#8217;t see any of these primal forces being sated in the current features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a few more reasons I will save for the email list.<\/p>\n<p>I hate saying all this because Google could have done it, they left it too late. I remember saying back in 2007 they should do something like this.<\/p>\n<p>They have spent too much of the evening working on their PhD papers and turned up at the party with a bottle of Peach Schnapps wondering why the hot chicks have already left the party.<\/p>\n<p>The other reason of course is that Google search is very, very good and it would be hard to improve it. Google Search and it&#8217;s commercial cousin Adwords are truly the works of genius. Which is why it feels awkward watching people get excited over this.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well, gives SEO bloggers something to write about.<\/p>\n<p>You may like these other posts:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornwallseo.com\/search\/2011\/06\/17\/great-wordpress-plugin-of-the-day\/\">Great wordpress plugins<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hate to say this, I really do.
