One Reason Google Plus has a Chance

Wow, the backlash against the Google Plus roll out has begun!
Granted, I am an unabashed Google fan, but even I have my limits. (Wave anyone?)

But one thing I mentioned yesterday and has been largely ignored so far? Google is pushing HARD on the mobile market. "Android appears on track to remain the mobile computing market leader during the next five years." Within five years, Android is going to be over HALF the worldwide mobile market in tablets and smartphones.

And guess where Google Plus is already? Android Marketplace.

Google has one billion users to Facebook's total 750 million world wide (I'd still love to see EITHER'S real active users). The number is going to grow on the Google side just due to Android alone.

Like I said, Google has a chance. We all ask if this is about killing Facebook, but Google seems to be asking the right question- how do they compete on their turf? The killing, or just doing well, can come later.

Just like this #NewTodd sounds lame right?

New Life

It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening. Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring. I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now. Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat. I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
