Comment on How Google have lost opportunity to get millions of Google+ users

Comments

This is a good idea. However, one thing I have learned from unsuccessfully pitching good ideas to very successful people/businesses is that the more successful they are, the less their decisions will make sense to outside observers. This is largely because their resources allow them to have different motivations for doing or not doing things than virtually anyone else.

Telling a wealthy person that you can make them alot of money, or in this case, telling a business that has hundreds of millions of users how to save a few million of them, isn't necessarily compelling to them. A company like Google has the luxury of deciding that a few million users aren't worth keeping for whatever reason, even though dismissing that number of users for any reason sounds absurd to most of us.
