> I don't know why people keep insisting that G+ is a waste land. If you personally don't use it, or see a use for it, that's fine, but there are many people in the world who are not you.

It's more that nobody I know uses it. All of my friends are on Facebook, and everyone is talking about Facebook. If I try finding my friends on Google+, it looks like a wasteland.

Why should I care if it's a winner for them? Google has a huge reach, and they are leveraging that reach to push Google+, but people are still uploading photos and updating their status on Facebook. Google+ may have many unique users, but their use is far more shallow than their use of Facebook.
