I haven't heard joking about G+ any more than I have about FB. FB is where you go to have your grandma and aunt write weird messages. G+ is where you go to share photography and travel logs. Sure, people do each of those things on both platforms, but g+ is in no way 'dead' or even close to it just because you don't personally use it.

That's how dire G+'s uptake has been: people don't even care about it enough to make jokes about it.

The only time I ever see G+ being used is for random geek blog posts on HN from time to time. Virtually everyone I know is on FB.

  That's the thing: the people on G+ seem to use it more as a professional networking tool (like LinkedIn without recruiter spam and more flexibility on what you post). I don't have any friends on G+, but I also don't WANT or NEED them on it. I use it to keep up on some tech stuff and look at photos. Facebook and G+, while both being "social networks," function totally differently. Whether google wanted it to be a direct competitor or not, it's just filling a different niche.
