Even though Google+ was/is compared to facebook...I don't think it is much like it. All I have really seen bloom from Google+ is hangouts with live streaming. I constantly hear businesses or other devs promoting a hangout feed. Facebook I felt was more for the intimacy of family and friends; personal profile. Linkedin for resumes and job experience; professional profile. Google+ ... so far has really been promoted as a tool of Google's that is no different than Wallet, Gmail, Voice...or Google Reader. By a tool, I imply that the niche Google+ is carving is hangouts. Please feel free to reply and tell me what/if you guys use Google+ and what for. Side note: I'm a developer, and I closed my facebook and never opened a Google+ (at least by choice -_-, don't you love how Google automatically signs you up for G+).
