I just joined g+ after google after not using any social network for about two years. I'm not impressed. The UI is just a sea of grey. Everything is just piled on top of each other. I've been keeping up with the changes over at Facebook (with the accounts of friends and relatives), and their UI is better (but not great, either). They do use colors and icons in a more functional manner. g+ is also buggy. I keep having problems where the app just hangs or stops working. I've tried it on a couple of different computers with different setups and I still get bugs. Weird because Gmail is very solid. I would have thought their JS would be a bit more reliable across the board. Maybe its me, though. I do think that what will kill g+ and FB is what I call the privacy wars. This is something that is brewing given the substantial abuse being carried out against civil liberties across the world by these mega corps.
