QUESTION:

Do you think Google's 'Social' platform will be successful?

Gmail, meet Twitter. Should they?

Google is preparing to unveil a new social networking component for its Gmail Web service, according to reports published Monday. The service, The Wall Street Journal says, would add tweet-like status updates into the Gmail interface.

I'll bet it'll be about as successful as Google Wave.

I think what screwed Google Wave was it was too complicated for the average Joe. Let's hope Google can dumb it down.

Most people at the Starbucks I'm at right now have Gmail, Facebook and Twitter all open at the same time. Google can eliminate one of the browser tabs so it makes sense. Lots of heavy Twitter users I know have already stopped emailing and just send me messages through Twitter/FB instead. I'm sure Gmail has seen this trend developing. So I see it more as a survival move for email more than anything else.

Google hasn't even started yet. I hear they got more revenue than they know what to do with it. So I can see more stuff being pumped out at a faster rate if they want to.

@ stergeron:
this is probably the most important comment i've ever made on this site so far -
that pic is not Darth Vader, it's Dark Helmet. you know, Lord Dark Helmet, commander of Space Balls' Imperious Forces - and also Lone Star's father's, brother's, nephew's, cousin's, former roommate.

Wave isn't gaining traction quickly but is amazing in what it proves. As soon as we, as a whole, figure out how to use it it will be an awesome tool. Much like Twitter.

On a whole, Google has not missed on very many initiatives. Integration of social platforms is much more palatable to the general public and should catch on quicker.

Google is VERY known by most of the people.
I think it's going to be more successful than FaceBook or Twitter. One single reason: 60% of FaceBook's/Twitter's users actually found out about them by GOOGLE or by SITES RELATING TO GOOGLE. (I.E. A google search went to a page with a ad about facebook or "Follow us on Twitter thing", or "Become a Fan"). I think Google will me more successful. But i am not likely of the idea Google getting all this "advanced". I think Google would been better JUST as a Searh Engine. Working so we get better results... However, there are some good things. Like Google Maps. Whatever... This is a good question... But going on the REAL question, not getting all Scientifical and Business: I think it will be successful.

@slick: You made me roll on the floor laughting... A search engine, mainly.
