Google+ facial recognition feature

Google is rolling out a feature that lets members of its online social network automatically find themselves in photos posted by friends.

Wow thats just great, perhaps Facebook can also implement this.
Google+ has now got something that Facebook does not, but I highly doubt that it would be able to compete with Facebook especially in developing countries in South Africa.

I think Facebook already has something like that (or similar). What happened to facebook's Timeline thing? I heard they were being sued for it

Google- i have removed + as they are seemingly struggling...at least they are being innovative. They may just get some points and attract me for a change

Google+ has attracted more than 40 million users since it opened to the public in September, but has a long way to catch up with Facebook’s membership of approximately 800 million.

I expect Google+ to follow the same growth pattern that we have seen Google Chrome follow. Like Chrome, Google+ is a great product which initially mostly gets used by the technology enthusiasts, but will increasingly enjoy some steady growth to only really match up with the competitor's user base numbers in a few years time.

This graph shows Chrome's growth

I'm pretty sure Facebook will dominate the next 6-8 years though.

Hopefully they implement it better than the shocking facial recognition on facebook.
