To be fair, your example is of a social network which lives and dies by widespread usage and growth. Yes certain niches enjoyed G+ but it seems their aim was to compete with the likes of Facebook which explains why they believe they failed their goal to achieve widespread usage. I'm skeptical too, we can only wait and see. I'm essentially just hoping they understood the market they're entering but hey it's Google. I'd also imagine they'd have service contracts for X years though? I can't imagine a health network wanting to use their service without guaranteed support for 5/10+ years. (Heck I imagine it'd take a year or two to even develop applications that use it)
