Why Twitter et al. will continue to fall to Google+

I know this post is not being posted to Twitter, but I couldn't fit it in Twitter's character limits.
STRIIIIKE ONE!

Now that thats out of the way, here is my official reasoning on why Google+  is the master race of all social networks and all that related blasphemy.



People have always told me that each company, and therefore site, specializes in a specific type of social networking, Facebook being usually for real life friends and stalking. Twitter being for knowing when people take their dogs for a walk, or for when people are bored on the toilet. MySpace for music; apparently. Skype for video fapping, or dressing up your top half in a suit for an E-Kitchen candle lit date, or other things that should be Microsoft monitored, especially corporate teleconference meetings of other companies.

Now you may wonder where I'm going with all this, and it is that all of these "Social Networks" drive their users to leave their product for other parts of being "social". If I was tasked with making a product along the basis of only providing basic functionality of a single type, trying to slot myself into the market and hope nobody notices, I would call it a risky business model.

This is where Google+ is different:
You don't need to rely on other products for every different subsection of "Social Networking".

You can do all the stalking you want, except now with proper privacy settings. Goodbye Facebook

You can do all the announcing your daily bowel movements you want, in the exact same format you did on Twitter, just nobody will follow you or care. Goodbye Twitter

You can share free trials of music through Google natively, right in Google+, without leaving the product. Goodbye Myspace

You can even have private company meetings, or any other group video chat and organize even public broadcasts. Goodbye Skype

You aren't stuck to a specific format or character limit. Goodbye Twitter+1

You aren't shoved with "related tweets" that you "may like" (and never do), just because Twitter has broken the entropy counter on their spam generation algorithm. Goodbye Twitter+1

You can have all the E-Kitchen dates you want, without firing up an ad machine that sends encrypted traffic to Microsoft while signed out, which nobody knows the contents of yet. Goodbye Skype+1

There is no need to use other products just to do basic things that you would organize on G+, including but not limited to video chats, calendar events, and nicely organized message boards. (G+ Communities)

You don't need 3 chat protocols/products, just a basic Jabber client, which any device; mobile, desktop, laptop, Mac, linux, X11, Gnome, Qt, Windows 7, Windows 8, tty, or even a Browser itself, support. (Imagine the convenience!) Goodbye Skype+1, Goodbye Facebook+1, Goodbye AIM/MSN/Live/et al.

You don't need to hand out your email to everyone, just allow certain circles to email you. The same goes for Jabber. (Why was Google the first to think of this?) Goodbye all other Social Networks

You can agree to a privacy policy that doesn't just state some version of "Allow All" hidden somewhere in the middle. Goodbye Facebook+1, Goodbye Skype+1

For those of you that enjoy counting things, that all adds up to:

Facebook: 4 strikes (out).
Twitter: 4 strikes (out).
Skype: 5 strikes (out).

Myspace: 1 strike (still in).
I say this about Myspace because it does seem to be surviving due to the music industry appearing to successfully push its new purpose, and it may just survive.
