"Mic, I think that's the view of a realist (which I share!).  It's all about seeing how the initial users of Google+ who are mostly from Silicon Valley find the uses for it. There have been plenty of comparisons between Google+ and other social networks, but it's all too soon to know. Once the user base grows and the more mainstream users adopts the service, then we will have a better idea on how successful Google+ will be." - Josh Chandler
