The problem with G+ is that it still doesn't offer that huge motivation to anyone to switch social networks. It's still missing the very basic ingredient of "there should a pain and the service needs to solve that pain." Like for example before Gmail all email providers only gave 2MB of storage space and because of that you had to delete important emails daily, which was a real pain. But when Google came out with its 1GB storage plan in which there was nothing to delete ever, it solved a very big problem for a whole bunch of users. So while Gmail's interface is nice and Ajaxy and spam filters rock.. still the reason why everyone went through the trouble of changing their email addresses was still because of the huge space and no deleting emails everyday. Because if that wasn't there then I would have never used Gmail in the first place, let alone realize the other advantages it offered (like better ui, spam protection, etc) Changing a social network similarly would also require such a huge motivation. Going after Privacy or giving Free apps is not reason enough for me or most users. They really need to solve a very real pain (unlike email this time it's not very clear what that huge pain is).
