> social has never been Google's forte has it.

It hasn't been anybody's forte except for facebook by that standard. On the contrary g+ is far better than facebook by any measurement you choose to use, it isn't missing anything. A supportive user base mostly absent only in the minds of people vehemently dying for it to be absent. These people who repeat the idea that using google for social networking is the worst thing they've ever heard or thought about. The technology is still sound, meanwhile.

The G+ API sucks. Bad. It might as well not even be there for all the use you can get out of it.

Do a serious comparison of the Facebook Graph API to what passes for an API on G+, then tell us again that it isn't missing anything.

I tried google plus once. It was a barrage of information, so I closed the tab never to return. The software ain't good.
