I actually prefer G+, but that's more because I hate Facebook than anything. If it wasn't for the fact that a few of my friends absolutely refuse to use anything besides Facebook for talking to people online, I wouldn't bother with social media at all. Anyway, it is nice to see something besides Facebook/Twitter doing well.

That means that I have one and I have never used it.

Their level of growth is stunning really. I have a Google+ account but I've only checked it twice since I made it.

The number of registered users mean nothing. This report from October: http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/google-traffic-continues-to-drop-down-as-much-as-70/ had their actual traffic drop big time from the initial buzz. Now, I know that was October but the point is that if you register, and then don't use the service, then what gives?

i have a profile but i never use it.. loads of my mates do too and non use the thing. i have around 6000 photos on Facebook, tagged in 3000 of my friends photos and this timeline thing i really like.. why would i actually use Google+
