Logged in to take a look, put some people in circles, only people that are regularly using it are people I read on Twitter anyway. Seems like it's having trouble "jumping the chasm" from techies and early adopters to the masses, who are largely confused by the whole thing and don't see a need to jump from nice, comfortable Facebook where all their friends are. Facebook hit it dead on (or got lucky) by being exclusively for college students first - get the college girls, you get the college boys, then their younger siblings want to be on as it's "cool" and their parents want to be on to stay in touch/keep an eye on the kids, then once the parents are on they help the grandparents get on. Same with MySpace, which targeted bands - another cool demographic. Adults don't have time to be screwing around with social networks for the most part, but make them think their KIDS ARE IN DANGER and they'll log right on - then stick around and start finding it useful. If anything, the cable news hysteria over social networks might help rather than hinder adoption amongst older/non-technical people. Google+, well, who wants to hang out with nerds? :)
