Good point. But I think that only confirms my point. Google should put it in the hands of the masses, and not industry insiders (though perhaps a closed network of the masses, such as a core group of Oprah's followers). It needs to be careful not to make Google+ an engineering project for employees, and instead a great consumer product.

I wrote a few reasons why I don't here (see the update part at the end): http://www.chipsandguac.com/thoughts/googlesocial.html http://www.chipsandguac.com/thoughts/googlesocial.html
