thus far it seems a waste of time. Then again i thought the same thing when i started on facebook all those ages ago, so we'll have to wait and see. It will be an uphill battle for G+ to get the critical mass of users facebook already has, since its mainly gmail user's who i see toying with G+ at the mo.
 
the one thing i like is that you can ''group'' people. then you can decide if all see posts or only a select group.

best to keep friends (rowdy) & family apart. this is not possible on FB.
 
I used FB to connect with school pals I lost contact with, until I realised why we lost contact. In the end it became an irritation and I decided to hide my profile.
Twitter never grabbed me.
G+ just doesn't seem to be worth the effort.
If I need to contact a friend I call him/her.
 
I wont even use it, I deleted my FB account and my twitter account last month coz for years I have been using social networks I feel like its just a spam, people post pointless things now and then.
 
I think its a great way to communicate and know whats going on in peoples lives..

Of course I only have people I know on my FB, I don't accept random adds like these little kids do.
 
Google+ is Such a waste of time, why google why oh why! I thought you will bring out something better.
 
it's a bit lonely there for me right now with only 2 people in my circles, but then again, i'm hardly ever at the office and don't have internets at home. my phone is too outdated to get the g+ app too. :(
 
Unless google have patented the 'circles' concept, theres nothing stopping facebook from implementing the same concept. Then the biggest reason to use google+ will be gone.
 
I have FB but the last time I wrote anything in it was about a month ago. My friends (?) and family make up for that. This social network thing is not for me. Google plus has not entered my circle yet. ;)
 
Google+ is growing too slowly for me. I have more than 800 friends on Facebook of which more than half actually are active. Only 4 of them are using Google+. It looks like most people are still happy with FB and will not start to use G+. Why? I wish I knew.

Well... um thats cause only people with gmail addies are allowed to register atm...

Im loving Google+ We use it at work all the time now.
 
Great article that mirrors my feelings about G+ almost to the core.
No really, just try and post a comment saying something "negative" about G+ and see all your tech friends raise an eyebrow.

For a few days now I've been sitting and staring at my browser as everyone lose their **** over G+.
What I found extremely funny about this is the fact that when you have the two open alongside each other you're basically staring at exactly the same thing, give or take a few differences that are nothing to write home about for someone who doesn't feel like they need to add every single schmuck and colleague he's ever met to an online identity.
It's more like people are hyping about the future potential of G+ than anything else.

It's definitely irritating, but still, it's nice to have everything in one place.

what would make G+ awesome

wouldnt it be nice if you could make a circle - that encapsulates all ur twitter friends.. and their updates.. and whatever you g+ .. if you select the twitter circle.. it posts to twitter..

something similar for faceboook.. what way i dont have to jump between them all..
