[citation][nom]frankbough[/nom]Zuckerberg began to write Facebook in January 2004. He didn't even go to Harvard until September 2002. Which website are you talking about, then?[/citation]

Actually, that's only when it was founded as a company. It was being worked on well before 2004.

IE it was worked on by other people, the people who Mark got the idea from.
 
[citation][nom]Shin-san[/nom]It's fair to compare your service to Facebook. Any video site online will be compared to Youtube, which is still awesome[/citation]

It's fair to compare, but not fair to mock the new site for not beating the older, more experienced site.
 
If it's fair to say Facebook existed for 12 years because it was being "worked on" for 4 years before launch, it's not fair to say Google+ has been around for 12 months, because it doesn't include developing time. Also, I would add the time of Wave and Buzz fiascos in the equation!
