Social networking overall has run its course. below are the phases it has gone through like everything else.

1. Initial Launch: OMG! Cool. Signup

2. More people Jump in, it becomes even more exciting.

3. Everyone starts using it.

4. Eventually, excitement starts to fade away.

5. It becomes boring.

6. People’s addiction eventually starts to decline.

7. People totally lose their interest.

8. Eventually, it becomes a ghost town. End.

Sadly, Google+ even couldn’t pass through the 2nd phase and skipped all the way to point 8.

Correction: 1. Exclusive, ego-boosting sign-up process (.edu for facebook, beta invites for Gmail, etc.)
