Taco, it was just an idea for getting more people to use it, probably not as well thought out as it could've been, I meant more like sharing it among closer members.
TheLorax, have you actually read the privacy statements for Facebook? They're not all that great, they do the exact same types of things G+ does, but G+ gives you a lot more control over what information in your profile is shared to who.
As for those saying it is a failure, it's your loss.
IMO, G+ does a much better job at what Facebook is meant to do, its just that Facebook is too well established to get a large following on other sites. If Google+ does get off the ground (which I'd like it too), it will be better than Facebook. That's just my opinion.
