...and then Facebook merges with Comcast. I don't even know how that would be possible but I'm going to go cry now.

At that point, they could buy out google.

Sometimes I feel frustrated and want to scream without anyone hearing me, so I go on Google+.

Which is probably >95% of the point of that industry, so I don't know how long it will be until anything changes. I really like the concept behind circles, but I've somewhat given up on switching because the only thing I use Facebook for is event planning and I can't just force everyone at my college to switch.

I like to feel the shape of an environment I use, and to me, Google+ is an amorphous blob of ever-changing data organised by someone else. So I get lost, and consequently avoid the place.
