Have you considered the possibility that it's not a marketing game?

  Like I say, G+ isn't an actual thing, like a box or a bucket. It can't "fill up" while there is evidence of massive spare capacity in the Google infrastructure. Pure gimmick.

    Don't be ridiculous, it's not a "gimmick". They're not referring to HARDWARE. They're referring to engineers, debugging, and load testing. Their supply of engineers isn't infinite, so, tell me, is it a gimmick to slowly roll out the service while you fix bugs and chokepoints that you wouldn't have discovered in internal testing? Is it a gimmick to do this at a rate that makes it possible for the engineers to actually fix the bugs as they discovered, rather than have a few thousand an hour bring the entire system to a screeching halt? You must not write software, mr know it all...
