I think it's safe to proclaim Google+ dead in the water at this point.

how? I do a lot of school/sorority stuff on google. FB is only for entertainment (catch up on engagements, weddings, birthdays).

I was a FBer since it's early days (March 2004, my undergrad was one of the first after harvard), and it struggled to get traction then too until they opened it up to other colleges, then high schoolers, then everyone.

Just give it some time...

It's DOA. Hardly anyone uses it.

Ignore him, he is like the media and becomes an attention *****. He tries to make profound statements based on absolutely nothing and are generally miles from the truth. Google+ is far from dead, it's exploding in popularity. IMO, Facebook's obituary is currently being written. They are following the same path as that *other* social website. Hated to death.

It's getting under 2 million hits a week. Pretty weak.

Did you even read the article you quoted??

According to the Los Angeles Times, market research firm comScore in its latest report has revealed that Google+, which was launched to masses in late June, has managed more than 25 million visitors in a month and is recording around a million unique visits every day.

I'll make it easy for you......1 million unique visits per day X 7 days in a week = 7 million hits a week. Not 2 million like you said.

I probably meant per day (not week). Either that or the article was updated. A million hits per day is pretty weak. A million hits per week would have been PUTRID.

To strengthen your statement, it's not *hits* as he noted, it's *unique visitors*. Then again, what do you expect from him? Logic isn't his strong point. (neither is reading comprehension for that matter)

Why does every post you make include personal attacks? Do you need therapy?

I might start using it more if they start doing the zynga games on it. I only play a couple of them now but that is what takes up the majority of my time when I am on facebook.

Don't post much on facebook.

So far I have checked my google+ account a few times and only have had a very small amounts of posts for other users...so I am not missing out on anything yet.

Google+ might have had a strong showing in getting people to sign up but that does not really matter if they don't use it much.

They do have Zynga Poker on there but thats the only one.

Right next to the Circles icon on your Google+ page there is a new "Games" icon that looks like this:

It appears Google+ Games initially launched with 16 games.
