Google Plus, Facebook and Twitter compared in an infographic (english version)
Yesterday I made and published a simple infographic to compare the different ways in which Google+, Facebook and Twitter let the user build relationships and share contents.
One of the most interesting things I noticed in Google+, a truly differentiating characteristic, is the fluidity. Let’s make an example: I usually write in italian and speak with italian counterpart, and I do that on my blog, on facebook, on twitter, on friendfeed. The reason is that I’m italian and so are both the stakeholders I address and the context I live and work in.
That said, with Google+ something seems to have changed: in the last days several non-italian experts have added me to their circles. Probably this is partly because we’re still a few on Google+, and so it’s normal to pay attention to people with whom we wouldn’t usually interact. Anyway I think it’s important that Goolge+ promotes a fluidity and openness that other Social Network Sites did not make possible (at least in my case).
Yesterday some of my “new” contacts asked for an english version of the infographic. So, for this reason this blog sees his first post in English: the translated Infographic. Excuse me, blame Google!
French Versione here. Thanks to Yohanne Legrand!

hi Stefano,
for the part “content i publish”, for G+; i’m not sure of it: what if you publish to “public mode” ?
same for the part “i will see”, you can read posts of people who didn’t add you in their circles.
Let me know if i’m wrong.

Google+, Facebook and Twitter supports “public mode”. If you public in public mode your contents are visible to everyone that goes to your profile.

I don’t fully agree with your twitter statments: Everything I publish on twitter is public. I can also follow hashtags instead of users. Personally I don’t follow anybody, but have several hashtag-searches installed.

Your infografic is very interesting and shows important differences between the three social networks. I’ve linked you and your Blog-posting to my private blog; your infografic with your copyright.
Thank you very much for that good content!

Beat why do you disagree? I said that twitter can be private or public.
@bT!NA
Thanks so much bT!NA!

@Stefano Because in the last two lines you write
- “Contents I publish … will be visible to my followers” (and to everbody else if it is a public profile)
- “I will see … what the people I follow are publishing” (or what I am searching (by hashtags or otherwise))

[...] Stephno Epifano has produced an infographic comparing Google+, Facebook and Twitter. Clearly, the main difference among Google+, Facebook and Twitter is the way they share content to the public. Google+ immediately stands out due to its brand new explanation of social structure and its understanding of how people publicise information pieces. Before getting into a comparison, the table already points out the differences in complexity among the three. Twitter is the least complex. Facebook is moderate. Google+ is the most complex one.

You can either send mass message to all of your friends in facebook, sending them your twitter username so that they can add you, or you can use the twitter application in facebook. Just link your twitter account in your facebook account.hogan 2011
