So far Google+ is rather boring. Probably cause I only have 9 people on there and no one is posting anything other then their new profile picture and a test post. Other then that it's been quiet. Meanwhile on Facebook where I have many more "Friends" it's business as usually, same number of post etc.
I'm sure it'll take a long time for Google to catch up, I just don't see most people moving to Google+.
I don't know about that. I've been extremely reluctant to connect with my parents or anyone in my family on facebook, just because of all the possible social clashes that may occur once they have access to my profile. I don't think I'm alone in this situation and I feel that many people, like me, would really welcome an environment where they can truly and safely connect with the different people that color their lives.
Facebook has taught us a lot of lessons about having an online social life, but it appears to me that it hasn't learned much from us in return, other than what it wanted to learn. G+ feels to me like a second chance to get it right with better tools. To be honest, I would have no problem letting my facebook profile go stale, while I rebuild a better profile with G+. Something that prevented me from leaving facebook behind in the past was that there was no alternative. Now, I can gladly tell people "I'm outta here, if you wanna find me, I'm at G+", exactly like I did when I abandoned my hotmail account for gmail.
There's nothing wrong with your comment and yet it is downvoted. What's going on?
Anyway, I think Google+ will stay around and replace/fulfill communication needs for a lot of people but it won't beat Facebook. People LIKE seeing everything their friends post - even if they complain about it.
