facebook is riddled on each and every square millimeter of this website. Why?
This is a serious question.

Are you kidding me?

Google+ is growing at the most uphill rate in the history of social networks. I'm not making this up, look at the social network market share. Google+ has recently reached 400 million registered users and has 100 million daily users.

Facebook is declining. Its stocks are plummeting. Have you heard of the story of how a startup got scammed by Facebook's rigged advertising? Zuckerberg can't sleep right now, because he knows that Facebook has nothing to sell. The company will be force to riddle ads all over the social network, resulting in MySpace v2.

Google+ returns $0 revenue. The reason behind this is because Google does not believe in selling its users.

an addition to my post, nobody loves facebook anymore. It's not "the revolution to the way we interact". It's "the place where everyone else is". AKA the Facebook bridge.

ROBLOX doesn't rely on Facebook at all. It does use it to help get people, yes, but who wouldn't? Facebook is such a big, great tool for advertising. ROBLOX doesn't rely on it though, because it doesn't force you to do anything with Facebook.

Facebook may suck, but that doesn't mean everyone's not using it.

But it is definitely going downhill.
Again, no social network in history has grown as steep as how Google+ is growing.

'But it is definitely going downhill.

Then again, social networks are relatively new.

Along with that, as you can see from Apple's pathetic rise in the industry, people are seeking omnitools: Devices/services that can do anything, anytime, anywhere. Google, can be seen as an omniservice for the web: It has practically everything! Since everything's accessible at the click of a button on a single website, Google's doing very well in the industry.

Dude we, Indians, used to use Orkut. Then switched to Facebook. Also, I consider Facebook to be bad in the first place. Then again I got Sorcus, so I won't complain.

"Google+ is growing at the most uphill rate in the history of social networks."

That's just because Google has a ton of weight behind it. I would not be surprised ig it's also by far the most expensive social network in existance, in the amount of money that was poured into it to create it.

"Facebook is declining."

Mostly because it's hit market saturaiton, almost everyone who would concievably use facebook already has it.

"Its stocks are plummeting."

Who cares? They're plummeting because Zuckerberg doesn't care at all about what shareholders want.

I would also like to point out that the stocks of Facebook were highly inflated upon offering. Usually its 14x of what your profit or something, but for Fb it was 100x. Of course its going to decline considering all that 100x was because of future promises and Zuckerberg not caring about shareholders.

Apple is impressive in this regard heh? 14x profit, and they are worth like 700 billion.

And isn't that a good thing?
Google isn't aiming to create a Facebook clone. They're integrating all of their products together. A la Google+ Hangouts and YouTube.

@Sorcus
No, Apple's stock is a bubble, and so is social networking in itself.
