So When's Twitter Getting an Update?!

It has been quite some time since Twitter last got a facelift, I think it's about time it gets another one or it will quickly get washed up by other social networks (Hint: G+)

The mini-blogging service continues to be popular amongst internet users and remains to be the number one place where people can truly share opinions regarding a certain topic, no other social network has managed to do that... yet!

So then steps G+, with some serious -almost weekly- updates to its platform. The service is integrating a lot of Twitter's features and even making them better. With G+ you can not only check trending topics, but you can also check the hot posts on the website, which is a great way to get you to keep coming back even if you don't have enough people in your circles. Not only has G+ been smart on browsers it has also been smarter on mobile phones, since it allows you to view public posts near you, which is a tremendous innovation.

What G+ is trying to do here is basically getting people to log in more frequently to check out public posts  and kick-start a virtual conversation between people who have never seen each other. It gives social networking a new dimension and helps it move past your own network of people. But wait, isn't that what Twitter was built for?! Actually yes, but with the G+ smart platform, Twitter is facing a serious threat that could end the service soon.

I will talk about what Twitter should do in the next few posts, but for now make sure to leave your comments and tell me what you think of G+ is it really a threat to other social networking services?!
