I didn't use Google+ and don't know people who use it, so I am not surprised.

I have used it. And abandoned it for years.
Though that's not a testament to G+'s quality, but to my aversion to social media.

Agreed. I actually liked G+. But social media has actually become very anti-social. Just not worth the headache and the time.

It's only a tool, it depends on you use it. I know people that simply use it to subscribe to news they're interested in, for example.

That's an interesting point.

^ Maybe this will happen sooner rather than later.

I like what's happening to the economy and employment in general, so I'd prefer the downfall the tech not affecting it too much. But please die already. Just go.

the sooner the better, considering the recent hack of 30 mill more accounts. FB is already in hot water from the previous have in the EU.

Not sure where else to put this.. but it's highly interesting and somewhat related. It's a long viewing.

edit: It's an interview with George Gilder about his new book Life After Google. But it's more about the Cloud in general.
