I don't have a google+  account (I don't use Facebook or twitter either)  but I can see that it's the first of these that I would use. Once I have friends etc with accounts to use it with.

JavaJones:
I'm seeing a number of "never used social networking before" people signing up for G+. Whether it actually pulls significant market *away* from Facebook in the long run I can't say, but it does at least seem to be gaining a *unique* market of its own which is quite interesting.

hmm.. Google is deleting profiles with non-real names? all other inter-related services are also affected it seems.

A striking number of Google+ accounts have been deleted in the last 24 hours as the new social network struggles with its community standards policy around real names - alienating and frightening the people it aims to serve.-zdnet

mouser:
I think the dirty little secret of google+ and twitter, etc. is that a huge number (the majority?) of accounts are actually created by bots for a variety of reasons.  Of course no site wants to admit this because they love the headlines that make it look like huge numbers of people are joining.  Maybe google is just deleting some of them.
