Google+, is it going to be able to challenge Facebook in the world of social network?

I believe Google+ idea of getting in through invitation is a great idea. Just as Facebook was only available to college students in the beginning, Google+ is using the same idea of being limited and exclusive. This tactic is used often just as products sometimes come in a limited edition or for limited time to increase their sales. Furthermore, by using an invitation method, for those who are part of the “circle,” will be loyal to Google+ and those who are not, wants to be.

Couple days ago, Facebook announced that they will be allowing video chat due to a deal they had with Skype. Google+ on the other hand, uses Google contacts and other tools. It would be tough to decide whether Google+ will pass Facebook as the new social network giant, but I believe there won’t be two superpowers.
