When it first launched, it reminded me a lot of the original Facebook design. I rather enjoyed it. It had communities, which facilitated a different kind of interaction than Twitter. It was less intimidating than Facebook's UI and wasn't full of social game requests and rants from distant relatives. But, then Google redesigned Google+ into some amalgamation of Pinterest and modern Facebook, undoing nearly all of its advantages IMHO. I stopped using it shortly thereafter. I check back in periodically, but nearly everyone I've interacted with has also moved on. It's really quite a shame.
