I have to agree with you on a lot of your points (even though I haven't had the chance to use G+). I am actually happy that G+ is missing advertising, corporate pages, and widgets. These things are "social", but I truly believe a social network should be about people and not games and corporations.

However, put with words with friends on there, and I'll be happy!

I just realized I can use G+ as a blog and just post those entries publicly... It would be even better if they'd implement tagging.

It seems they took a swipe at a lot of services. probably not intentionally, but by rolling up a lot of functionality that has been proven by others into one app.

You can't really believe that Google isn't going to throw in ads once it opens up wide?

I find it ironic that the article claiming that "Facebook is maimed" and "Twitter mortally wounded" is on a site that has "Like" and "Tweet" buttons, but no Google+ interaction at all.

He talked about features not the situation NOW.

Yeah, I'm sure the ads will be similar to Facebooks soon. But possibly less annoying/more personalized.

I think this is the real concern for Twitter. G+ can kind of do what Twitter does, and G+ is much easier to monetize.

In that case, shouldn't the author put his money where his mouth is and put the article on a site that has a +1 button?
