The circle feature, while nice, makes it look like a ghost town.
I don't put people that are not on G+ in my circles so when they sign up, they see an empty feed. Facebook knows that you need a minimum amount of friends in order to find the service useful. With G+ and the circles, this threshold is higher and more difficult to reach as there are less users.
- AznHisoka 15y agoGoogle+ needed to make something useful for people with few to no friends. To at least counter the chicken and egg issue.
- thinkdevcode 15y agoSearch for topics that interest you... add those people to a circle.. voila - you have a bunch of people you can share things and discuss with. I have a circle of VC's & angels, a circle for Python enthusiasts, a circle of C#/.NET enthusiasts, etc. My stream is always full of new and interesting discussions. I don't think G+ will be a "social network" like Facebook. And that's a good thing. There's a reason im not on Facebook but I still use Twitter and G+. A lot of the people I talk to feel the same way. What's more interesting to you... A) Reading about your friend's drama issues or B) Reading about the latest, coolest startups and technologies? A) Facebook B) G+
- AznHisoka 15y agoneither, i don't want to hear about my friend's dramas or about startup successes. both made me irritated or jealous =)
