Too bad, I really liked the concept of friend circles.

There was a lot of hype that FB was going to copy this feature, but it never really materialized. I mean they did make it slightly easier to create groups, but it's not even close to the same level of ease of use and functionality.

I still think it's too early to write it off. Google's "Project Glass" is a pretty cool example of how there is still lots of room to innovate and improve social networking. If the project is able to develop products that people actually want to use, switching over go G+ becomes worth the hassle.

March was a good month for G+

Isn't that around the time that Google started merging G+ with it's over services? In search, Gmail and so on? Not surprising that visits started to peak then, but I doubt many people stuck around after the curiosity wore off.

Yeah this is a good point. More importantly though, it's your turn on words. :laugh:

give it time, when enough people switch over more will be going on. I wish facebook was for university students only (alums or current).

+1, facebook is getting old

google plus almost screwed me over this weekend, I apparently had the automatic picture share feature turned on and I was not aware of this. I come back and login to find a buch of pictures uploaded on google plus, luckily nothing was published.

Oh, well I don't have a google + account yet. Just checked it out fast and didn't like it. But the idea behind it is very good. I liked the old and first facebook.

I wish the mobile app allowed you to tag friends in posts. Without this mobile Google+ is pretty useless for content generation. On a related note, I really don't understand the mobile app at all :(
