Loads of uploaded photos and being members of groups etc is a hassle to transfer.</p>Nexii Malthus commented on 'Has Google Finally Done Social Right?

In fact, the same things said about FB were the same things said about MySpace.</p>
<p>@Ingatius, Dizzy<br />
Google doesn't need migration tools. You can include other people in your circle who don't have G+. That's a LOT more superior to facebook which requires everyone to be in their walled garden. This is the one key difference. (At least from what information is available that I have read on G+. Dizzy could you confirm this?)</p>Dizzy Banjo commented on 'Has Google Finally Done Social Right?

Looks like a replica of earlier Google social network efforts really apart from Circles. </p>
<p>This is good in that you can drag and drop into groups, but in terms of functionality it only really delivers the same as Twitter Lists I think.</p>
<p>We felt that its all about critical mass - FB just has such huge numbers and history - who can really be bothered to transfer all that a new network?<br />

<p>Unless Google were to include an easy migration tool as they have done in Docs, laziness or fear of losing content will keep the college kids, as well as mee-maw and paw-paw, at FB, despite the crappy interface and lag I'm beginning to see at peak times. </p>

Especially after seeing how Chrome stores 'supposedly encrypted' passwords in plain text for anyone with access to the browser to see.</p>
<p>Facebook views your data as public.<br />
Google views your data as theirs.</p>
<p>- Which is a more dangerous attitude?<br />
