My observation with why it has the potential to fail has to do with the sub-set of my friends who have accounts and those that don't.
There are two groups I noticed that signed up. I know lots of people that got invitations and didn't sign up for various reasons as well. But two main demographics appeared:
1) my techy introvert friends
2) my attention whore friends which to be part of the in crowd
Group 1 is a pointless demographic as they don't tend to express on social networks, and have small groups of associates.
Group 2 are full of hot air and even on Facebook I have many of them blocked so I don't have to listen to dribble about how great they are.
I added maybe 30 or 40 people from my friend set, and over the span of a week 3 things where posted. My attention whore friends posted recently on Facebook about how they had G+ accounts, but not one of them posted anything, well at least publicly.
I consider both groups rather caustic. Group 1 tends to be quite depressive and negative as a bunch, they also prone to being preachy fan boys and interjecting opinion whether asked or not. Group 2 tends to get annoying although they often have things of interest going on, the tirade of babble is enough for me to off dealing with them often.
So I closed my G+ account, and I'm secretly hoping that both groups stays over at G+ and doesn't pipe there content into Facebook. Since closing I've had a few conversations with people interested in why I closed it, and several people have commented they don't like the current crowd all that much either. And thats dangerous.
