This is the most over-generalized statement I’ve read about Google Plus so far. Apparently Forbes is privy to some secret knowledge that we’re all only annoyed with Facebook because we’re tired of using it. Not because Facebook forces user interface changes on users without warning, or because they change their privacy settings without telling anyone, or because they require you to opt-out of them using your face for advertising. People have real, legitimate gripes with Facebook. And that’s where Google Plus comes in.
But today I click on my newsfeed and see tumbleweed blowing through the barren, blank page. It’s a vast and empty wasteland, full of people who signed up but never actually stuck around to figure out how things worked
The author apparently was the only member of his real-world social circle to consider trying out Google Plus. In my case, my real-world social circle all moved to Google Plus at about the same time. I have a real, vibrant, Farmville-free stream of updates coming from Google Plus. Social networking is social again.
