An imho better poll would have looked more like this: "a) Google+ > Facebook b) Google+ < Facebook c) Couldn't try it out yet d) Don't care", since the way mrspeaker asked the question, a lot of people get left out.

#132I have a Google+ account but I've never used Facebook, so I can't compare. I like Google+, I can see the potential.

#133It's sort of like Twitter was back in the day: a good place for techies and techie friends to nerd out away from the noise.
I think it will probably take off, just based on the fact that I'm actually still using it (unlike Buzz or Wave).

There's nothing stopping you from having both. With a decent IMAP or exchange client, you can easily browse multiple mailboxes. In fact, multiple emails is probably the best reason to use a non-browser app for email.
Google has multiple sign-in support natively as well, I use it to switch between a couple Google apps accounts and my normal Google account. http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&#...
It really sucks, though. Between Calendar and Docs, there's often a conflict where it won't log me in to the second account.

#135Given I've not been able to invite hardly any of my friends, I haven't really gotten to make much use of it. I think, for me at least, this is a mediocre entree to the platform, since my first impression is that it has almost no utility, they really should have just opened it up to everyone so I could quickly have my FB buddies on here and be having fun and socializing.

This was my experience 6 months ago (I ended up using multiple firefox profiles for months because of it).
Just tried it again this week, and I haven't run into the "derp derp derp one half of your accounts aren't allowed to see this"-type error yet.

#137My parents have a rule about new TV shows: They won't watch anything in the first season. Instead, they record the entire season, and once it is picked up for a second, they'll watch the first season and then become regular viewers. I have the same rule with social networks. I'll sign up right at the beginning, but I won't participate until I see a good chunk of my friends are on it. I don't want to invest the time i…
I wish I could stick to that rule your parents have adopted!. Case in point for Firefly, Flashforward, Surface and The Event most recently for me.
Good list, I think these belong there too: Invasion(2005) and Threshold

I always feed like a second class citizen with my google apps account.
I've seen the phrase "second class citizen" used a lot recently and I usually think it's a bit over the top. In this case though it seems about right - I'm a total Google fanboy but as an Apps user I'm just not allowed to use their biggest new product!
Maybe this is their indirect way of giving you incentive to move to a Google account? (Don't feel bad I have google accounts and do not have g+ access yet.)

I'm in the same boat because I have a Google Apps account, so Google Profiles (and thus Google+) isn't available to me (yet?).
This was the last straw for me and my Google Apps account. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but I'm sick of being an afterthought. A couple nights ago I migrated everything over to my @gmail account. I even moved my phone over, which meant I had to wipe it completely and re-buy a couple apps! But it's all done, and now... I feel... good. I'm a first-class Google citizen again!
This is the reason that I've always kept both my google apps account and my gmail one. It can be very frustrating that some services aren't available otherwise.
