You're thinking of Facebook :)
For that to happen, Google+ would actually need real users
 
Haha- I actually used Google+ just the other day.

For the 3rd time since YOU invited me

Haha I think when I invited you was the last time I used it

Not that I use facebook often, but at least it has users :)
 
I first liked google+ when it started but then people started to use it as a mini blog and since sharing is so easy everyone shares everything they read making G+ just full of noise so there is no way to distinguish between interesting and common news shares. Everyone sharing Kone 2012 over ,SOPA over and the same photographs, youtube videos over and over started to become irritating.

I'd rather use google reader to link to blogs rss feeds, twitter and facebook each on their own than try to use Google+ that wants to combine all of them into one.
 
Google-
No thanks. I can't exactly put my finger on it but each time I went into that site I got annoyed within seconds.

Maybe it's the brightness of the whole thing, or the fact that it somehow looks minimalist and cluttered at the same time, or that I cannot be bothered to learn the ins and outs of another social network even though most people I know use FB.

Or maybe all the little bloody + this and + that +'s count here and # there and hot +'s on Google+ all over and the "hang out" crap that looks like nothing I'll ever want to use, oh, and the horrible large font... reminds me too much of SMS speak or Twitter or something. *kots*

EDIT: Oh, and that Google bar on top that leads you into thinking you have a nice integrated area for Google Docs etc. and when you click the damn thing it just opens another tab. FAIL!

The only people I have to talk to on Google+ are a bunch of nerds. All my cool friends are on Facebook.
 
Still not going to make anyone use it --
They still haven't addressed why FB people would want to use it instead of FB or why FB users would go through the effort to co-locate?
 
I'd use it but they need to put some effort into making an iPad app first.

+1. And it's not just that I don't wanna learn another one, it's just that G+ sucks (not that facebook is any good anyway. the timeline thing sucks atm, for example)
 
Right now one of the most redeeming features of G+ is the speed of the interface vs FB.

Of course the more crap they add, the slower it will become.

Of course what G+ really needs is extensions like Social fixer and FB Purity to get rid of the crap you don't want to see (which would I suppose slow things down. Sigh!)
