Sorry. It just is. I have had it now for a couple of weeks, and I just couldn’t care less. I don’t really even pay attention to the notifications in my Gmail inbox when they appear. I like the circles, and my interest in the site ends with that feature.
And when I do log in, I never spend more than a few minutes there. It could be because most of the people I interact with regularly are only on Facebook. It could be because it just feels like another, less robust version of Facebook. It could be because I have massive ADD and don’t need another social networking site to check.
I don’t know what it is. It just doesn’t click for me. And it would appear that I’m not the only one who feels this way.
I’m not ready to count it out yet. I think Google+ will stick around. But a Facebook replacement? No way.
