Completely anecdotal counter-response: In many of the social circles I move in (including the preponderance of my college friends, an extended music crowd here in LA, friends from high school when my focus was primarily sports, etc.) I either am or have often felt like a (the?) nerd among normals. I enjoyed the opportunity to observe as a large group of people—regardless of their personal affinity for technology—attempted to determine how they were going to make Facebook a part of their lives when it went live my freshman year of college. I joined Twitter during sxsw 2007 when its first big buzz (among us geeks) happened, then waited for the better part of two years before almost anyone I know IRL joined. I've been watching closely the adoption rates on G+ within the confines of my unscientifically generated social network, and it's been interesting. No real observations yet, but in terms of raw numbers: I've currently got over 100 people in circles, but less a cadre of internet personalities, there are 58 whom I know personally. 34 men. 24 women.
