I'm not a big G+ user, I followed a bunch of people who post publicly, I visit maybe once a day just to see if there is something interesting...but my visits are probably 15-1 nav bar to clicking a G+ link somewhere in the open web.

The circle feature, while nice, makes it look like a ghost town. I don't put people that are not on G+ in my circles so when they sign up, they see an empty feed. Facebook knows that you need a minimum amount of friends in order to find the service useful. With G+ and the circles, this threshold is higher and more difficult to reach as there are less users.
Google+ needed to make something useful for people with few to no friends. To at least counter the chicken and egg issue.
I don't think G+ will be a "social network" like Facebook. And that's a good thing. There's a reason im not on Facebook but I still use Twitter and G+. A lot of the people I talk to feel the same way.
What's more interesting to you... A) Reading about your friend's drama issues or B) Reading about the latest, coolest startups and technologies?
A) Facebook B) G+

I got on board early, hoping that friends and family will eventually move over from Facebook. A handful did in the beginning but eventually I realized that nobody is moving from Facebook. I eventually turned my G+ off completely. I think Google just doesn't know Social and they will eventually be folding.

Why do you prefer Google to Facebook?
G+ is too damn confusing. That is all.

It depends on who is spinning the news, see: Google+ Sees Its 3rd Largest Week Since Launch http://searchengineland.com/report-google-sees-its-3rd-large... G+ is bigger than Istagram and Foursquare combined yet Google bashing persists for some reason.

Search for topics that interest you... add those people to a circle.. voila - you have a bunch of people you can share things and discuss with. I have a circle of VC's & angels, a circle for Python enthusiasts, a circle of C#/.NET enthusiasts, etc. My stream is always full of new and interesting discussions.

Having burnt several times more money and time (person years) in engineering and marketing, G+ can't smile about being bigger than Instagram!
