On other social networks you're connecting with friends and family. On G+ you're circling strangers whose thoughts you're interested in.

The problem is that G+ seems to only get the people who are technology driven. Even then it's a fraction of that community.

The 'average Joe' doesn't have any use for this. They can follow their friends on Facebook or follow their favorite celebrities on Twitter.
