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!

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

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.

Facebook's ads aren't personalized enough?! I post that a had a good BM this morning and there's an ad for Charmin and Welch's prune juice on the thread! How much more personalized do you want?
