Yes, because Google has the reach and the power to surpass Facebook.

Surpassing Facebook in popularity would simply be a matter of exposure and marketing. Much in the same way as Facebook replaced MySpace by becoming the new hip thing to try out, Google Plus has the capability of doing the same to Facebook. With the reach that Google has, through their search engine service and Android operating system, if anyone has the capability to become popular enough to overtake Facebook, it is Google Plus.

Yes, Google + could surpass Facebook

While Facebook does have a large head start on Google +, Google + is powered by well Google. We have seen just how much a company name with a following can make anyone do just about anything. If Facebook made a web browser it could easily become as large as Google Chrome just as Google + could become as big or bigger than Facebook as a social networking site.

Facebook is too far ahead to be surpassed by any other social network.

Facebook overtook Myspace in a flash, and has absolutely taken off in popularity since then. At this point, people's lives are just integrated with Facebook and, as such, I have trouble seeing Google Plus catching it in overall popularity. Google Plus could be a solid competitor and could get a sizable following, but I don't see it catching up with Facebook, unless the people in charge of making sure Facebook continues to run smoothly make some huge mistakes, down the line.
