I think Facebook is invincible for now. Like I said in the other thread, the user group is firm. Everybody that you know is either on FB or has pictures of them or posts about them on FB. There is the option to download all your pictures and posts from FB to save them, but importing them into Google+ or Unthink will never be supported as some kind of batch process. And the individual transfer of the posts and comments would be impossible. These things have value to the mindless poster (I should know) while the important things like security, individuality and class escape them. Their demographic includes a strong teen market who never worry about who sees their stuff and although they are usually willing to try new things, they also get bored very easily. In my own personal experience, I registered for Google+ which was a limited, invitation only type thing. That's really the only thing that drew me in. Once I tried it, I had to admit it was set up better than FB, but my friends weren't there. Telling them about it didn't work and crusading for some possibly doomed social networking site isn't my bag so after a couple of weeks of having less than ten friends, I abandoned it and never looked back.
