One thing to remember is that Facebook's e-mail is an outright flop -- I have never once corresponded with an @facebook.com address -- whereas tons of teens use Gmail on a routine basis. Every Gmail user is now (more or less) a Google+ user. Google could probably use that to drive a lot of Google+ adoption.

Does anyone have a @facebook.com other than Facebook employees?

  Yes, I do have one but I only used it once to test how it works.

  Facebook employees use @fb.com, everyone on facebook has vanity_username@facebook.com

"[W]hereas tons of teens use Gmail on a routine basis." How many teens use Gmail? Despite Gmail's popularity among techies, I seem to recall that they only have like 5% market share, so I'm guessing most teenagers don't use Gmail.

Most teens and pre-teens I know (by living with a teen brother) use Hotmail. I've seen chain letters with hundreds of emails (yes, they still happen) and there's hardly a @gmail.com in sight.
