Within my friend group there are quite a few that have not yet moved to Google+, but many of them have (most tech guys). I have actually found that engagement and interaction on Google+ is way better than on Twitter or Facebook. Discussions come easier, there is in general a lot more activity and there is always something interesting going on. Looking at my Facebook vs Google+ posts my Google+ posts already have an average reply count that is two times that of my Facebook average. The hangout feature is also absolutely fantastic. It really does feel like I am hanging out with friends, it has brought me closer together with various friends that I hadn't seen in a while and allowed me to reconnect with people in a more useful way. Skype, Facetime, and iChat's video messaging just don't come close in terms of ease of use and how many people you can have in a single hangout. Google+ also makes it simple to create very long, long-form entries, something I absolutely love.
