The main problem I have with G+ whenever I try to use it I have the sneaky suspicion it's designed to benefit Google more than it does myself. It feels like the motivation behind it wasn't to build an insanely great social network but to maximise user value by tying web searches, emails, interests, social circles, documents, location and more to actual identifiable people. I can see how that information can be extremely useful to advertisers and therefore valuable to Google, but I do not see anything there that is worth spending time on when there are many better, less invasive alternatives.
