Why doesn't Google make a social media app like FB/IG?

If they did this besides YT wouldn't they easily surpass the rest since their userbase already is immense and for sure would expect their profits to go over the roof?
Just a random thought that crossed my mind... :D

I think last time they tried with Google+, but not happening

Just that now they have Google My Business, I think thought this is not social networking, this is a really good Business networking site!
 
What do you think Facebook will keep quiet when Google does something like this :D

Because Facebook already owns Whatsapp and Instagram so this is a tricky question though:confused:
 
They already tried it with Google plus and I don't think it is the right time to think towards that.

I think they are trying to turn YouTube into more of a social platform rather than just a place to watch vids, e.g. the community tab is a clear step in that direction.

Yups you guys are right I think it was bad marketing with G+ that failed it miserably and they didn't seem to put too much time into it. But it did lack quite a lot of features though, so it would be good that they scratched it off and start fresh

Correct that is true but I can't see it being a social platform because it would become too cluttered..
 
They tried with Google plus, it was an obvious failure. I don't think anybody can compete with Facebook at this point. Youtube has the potential to do so in the future, but from a different angle.
 
Google+ was the second try. They did it before. I think it was Google Buzz
 
Many young people are leaving Facebook or rather not using at all.

So how do you all see FB in the future? Are the community FB aging? If the youngsters not coming in to FB, what will happen then?
 
Even before launching google+, they had acquired Orkut. It was decent product and had huge userbase.

Google didn't not launch a single new feature, neither marketed it. Ultimately it was closed down.
 
They did with Google+, I remember when I created my account, two minute latter and I'm like "what's wrong with you Google" I didn't use it after that.
 
Google+ died out. Maybe they're working on something new.
 
Hopefully they will have something new soon to complete with the giants right now.
 
G+, and failed
 
Google tried and failed miserably. I don't think they will try and start a new social media platform anytime soon but they might be willing to buy an trending app which is truly social and viral in nature.
 
They are tried out a pinterest style platform recently, but when I checked before it was almost dead.
Youre probably the first person I have come across who didn't know about Google+
Also, most of Googles, apps/pluggins provide the same features as social media.

I had a Google+ account and did know about it but had completely forgotten they tried this until that first user mentioned about it:p

The question is why doesn't Z U C C make a video sharing site like youtube?
They are going to make IGTV the next YT that's his idea anyways no idea if it will take off and a partner program will soon come for IGTV so be ready to make some money off IGTV content:rolleyes:
