Facebook vs Google Plus: A Stream Comparison
Just for kicks, I thought I’d compare the last ten things in my main news feed/stream on both services. To try to be fair, I am using the broadest stream, not some narrower, more selective stream, and I’m not including things I share myself. Also, Google+ brings things back to the top of the list if there is an updated comment, so that might skew things a bit….
In summary, it is as I suspected – Facebook is sending me more humor/silliness than I see on Google+, but the difference in these ten posts is not as great as my perception. Perhaps a larger sample would be helpful? Any way, not sure if I proved anything or not. Maybe you could do a similar test and see what you think? Are you seeing similar results?
