Don't forget Friendster. Social networks seem to be following a pretty reliable cycle... 0) New social network comes along 1) High School and College students join up to keep connected with their friends 2) Site grows, adding more features to drag more of those social circles in 3) Parents start to take note, and join up to stay connected to their kids 4) Kids forget that their parents are there, and share way too much information, leading to lots of trouble 5) The presence of the parents makes the social network cease to be "cool" 6) Kids start looking for a new place to hang out, to get away from their parents 7) Goto 0 Facebook is somewhere between steps 5 and 6 right now... If Google+ pans out, it'll probably be the next in line. The difference is that the "circles" thing has the potential to break the cycle at #4 by keeping the parents separate from the friends. We'll just have to see how it pans out.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)you forget though, the mere existence of their parents on the site makes it not cool. even if they are relegated to a special circle they are still there. and kids hate liking things their parents like. i think g+ will follow the same cycle.
