It’s happend multiple times, all it takes is a few people to move to another social network, their friends to follow and then it slowly trickles till its dead… happend to myspace and many others That is exactly what happened to myspace. They kept adding features that pissed people off and trashed up the site. Facebook came along as a clean and fresh blank slate where things were simple and you werent blasted with stupid music and glittery profiles every time you clicked on a friends page. Google+ has a problem of just not being “cool” enough to use since none of your friends really use it. That’s the biggest hurdle and problem. Granted if google+ figured out a way to get a lot of hot/young chicks on there the male population would clearly follow and bring popularity to the site. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/facebook-ipo/262686)._
