It hasn't been really well thought out and is still in the 'tweeking' phase. I don't know if it will catch on and rival Tweeter or Facebook. <br /><br />But having had my Android phone for the past 2 months, I can attest that Google will rule the world in about 10 years, with Microsoft as its boot-licking lacky.
