If Google Me wants to be a replacement to take over Facebook, it's gonna be a uphill battle. In my opinion, Google have to do the following to win over fans of Facebook:

1. Respect privacy of others and provide easy to use and very powerful privacy controls for users.
2. Convince Facebook users why Facebook is not better than Google Me.
3. Transparency in how security breaches are handled.
4. Better apps and APIs.
5. Open platform.
