Google+... Like getting a new bike... Then missing your old one?

Google+, its like getting a new bike...  A shiney new bike...

I mean, you love to ride bikes...  You ride it every day, as soon as you wake up and right before you go to bed. You take your bike to the mall, to the movies, on a date, to the park, and sometimes you ride it when you are on conference calls.  You have a picture of it on your iPad, iPhone, Driod, RIM...  You take it to bed, only to awaken when you hear it tell you that something new is happening down the block. You are on your bike every day, and sometimes ride it with many other bike riders! Why, your bike is magical...  It can change colors, become more formal or less...  Can give you more Klout among your friends, can make your business shine, and can do soooooo many things...  It has a card in the spokes that makes a clatter as you ride making people notice you.  When you ride it, people catch up to you and follow.  They just love the streamers you have, and when you make changes people copy you as a sign of influence.

Then, sometimes...  Yeah, sometimes you wonder of there are other bikes out there... 

Then you find out there is a new bike out there, and now you want it...  More than anything in the WORLD!  You ask and ask and search and ask and finally you get it.  You get a new bike... This bike has new colors you have never seen.  New circles and wheels...  New pictures, and ways to reach out and meet new friends...  It has different brakes, and lines, and handle bars...  People are talking about it...  People are wanting it...

But in the end, you realize it is still just a bike.  And after riding it for a few days, you put it back in the garage. You put it back, because you miss your old one.  The new one you just got is pretty awesome, I must say...  AND, you take it out and ride it from time to time to show everyone how aresome you are... But it's not your old one.  When you compare, your old one is actually newer then the new one... Or at least just as new...

Now you love your new bike, and take it out from time to time...  However your old one is the one you continue to ride... Kinda like a classic car that keeps on innovating.  

A classic-new-futuristisc-bike?   But lets wait and see if I long for my new bike more than the old...  Time will tell!
