Duke, what's wrong with this thread? I think this is a subject worth discussing, that is if this subject hasn't been discussed before... :S
Anyways, I have both and I personally don't see a future in Google plus. ATM I have no active friends and it will be very hard for the mighty G to win over the mighty F on a short term. 8-)
I wouldn't worry. Google Chrome was used by a handful of people three years ago when it launched and next month it will pass FireFox and pass IE by the start of next summer. Most people here though FireFox was the browser to end IE's dominance but it failed and in less than a month Chrome will have passed it.
Same thing for Android. It was basically a developer project for a year and a half before anything was even released and it was considered a waste of money. Three years later it's the most used mobile OS. Nobody though it was possible to pass iOS in global users but Android did.
Android has 600k phones activated every day and this number is still growing. You need a gmail to activate Android and it's only a matter of time before G+ is integrated into Android. Imagine when that happens.
Same for Chrome. In Chrome Version 15 which I use (the current version everyone uses is 13) you login to Chrome as it has Google profiles that sync you bookmarks and other data. That's right you login to the soon to be largest browser in the world with a gmail account. That's another huge market of millions of users. G+ buttons and notifications will be incorporated in every browser so even if your on Facebook your getting G+ Notifications and messages from your friends on G+. Facebook will never have that advantage.
People here have no patients. You can't expect to get 750 million members in two or three months. G+ is the worlds fastest growing social network and it's invite only. It reached numbers in a week that took Facebook a year. It's a long term project like Android and Chrome and it's not even officially open yet.
