I liked the article +Bindu Reddy wrote at +TechCrunch, but I'm not so crazy about the nuts in the comments that (of course) trash Google+. My favorite is the people that don't use the platform and smack-talk it. (Reminds me of Amazon reviews by people that admit they don't own a product, but write reviews based on other reviews.)

We are not happy with this! Hisssss!!!!
Those that lack knowledge tend to talk smack. Bindu made a couple points that hit home for me, such as circles, they could automate some of the circling work. I also liked the point that G+ could improve its suggested users, they definitely could do a better job promoting those that embrace and use G+, not just the famous users. Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
There was a comment from someone who admitted the only reason she uses G+ is to post links to her blog. She mentioned that G+ isn't a good social network as such.
I think some of the problem is that G+ early adopters are more tech savvy and we are tired of seeing so much blatant self-promotion. So we don't tend to really interact with people who do nothing but self-promotion. I don't know if that has anything to do with the people who bash the site without really using it as the rest of us do, but I suspect those people are pretty much doing the same thing she is doing.
I've been here since about 5 days after it opened with invitations but I'm not in a lot of circles. That's ok with me. I still get a lot out of the service– much more so than other social sites.
I liked the Twitter references. To me it will be easier to break in as a Twitter replacement without the character limit which has lead to a useless explosion of URL shorteners and forces abrupt language.
