My wife and her friends (who amazingly all accepted her G+ invites and immediately started the service) like it much more than Facebook. My wife's an RN, and reasonably technically savvy, but not someone I'd call a "geek". I asked her why she liked it more and she said two things that I thought were interesting: 1) "Well, I like Google better anyway. So I'd rather use their service." 2) "It just feels better than facebook to me." Really surprised me, considering that we're going to replace her Android phone that she's only been using for 6 months or so because she hates it so much and because she really likes to use facebook. I'm not sure if her experience is going to be the norm, but it seems to bode well for Google. |

Background:
I am a rather technical person -- been messing with computers since MS-DOS 4 at the age of 8ish (sorry, not trying to show my epeen, just giving context) -- and was always apprehensive with social media.
Recently, when my work position became more of a project management position, I had to start getting to know Facebook -- which, previously, I've never touched at all before. This was about 2-3 months ago.
Starting with Google+, as a relatively new Facebook user, I just don't want to use Facebook anymore solely because of reason #2.
