I actually have to agree with him to an extent. Most moms will sign up for pretty much any website that her kid is on (unless its some gangster rap forum or something). Similarly I think most 13-17 year olds will pretty much sign up for any website that the college kids are on. Popular social media site choice is really dominated by the decisions of 18-25 year olds.
I don't know why you're being downvoted since what you speak is the truth, but have an upvote.
Anyone who thinks the average person is going to start using Google+ instead of Facebook is delusional at best.
Just listen to those Google+ introductory videos. Who the hell talks like that? Friends being worth your time -- what? "Adding people to your life"? Are these people real?
Here's the real deal: Google+ is sterile and lacks originality -- it's just Buzz and GTalk with a new uninspired interface.
Being able to group people in circles with JS animation is only exciting to geeks. No one else gets off on contact/group management.

Is that why your mom uses Facebook? Because it's so extreme, debauched, and envelope-pushing?

The generation that matters isn't my mom's or my own for that matter. It's my younger brother's. And, yes.
