I get Google+, I really do. But I also think it's unimportant, unneccesary, and a little bit inconvenient. Trust me, I love Google. Their search engine, Maps, and Places features are applications that I literally couldn't live without. Their social networking features from Buzz to Wave, to Groups just haven't caught on with me. In fact, I'm actually utilizing Groups for a freelance gig with a local designer and it's almost unusable as a source to share work, inspirations or ideas. I think Google+ is going to fall down by the wayside too. Why? Because the experience isn't friendly, the design isn't pretty, and the idea isn't innovative. In fact, I'd argue it's taking Facebook and Twitter backwards, using "privacy" and "circles" as excuses to jump into the social business sphere one additional time.

Now that I've got that out of way, I'll touch on the technology. Google is by far one of the smartest companies in the world.  If anyone brings us into the "Minority Report" millenium, it will be the minions at Google.  I agree with the ideas inside Google+.  I'll also agree that they have one hell of a marketing team. If the actual experience matched up to the point-of-views portrayed in the videos below, we would all be interacting in ways only seen in Steven Speilberg movies. But we're not there yet. 

My mom is the master of Facebook. She's not quite into Twitter. She wouldn't go near Google+.

That, therein, lies the problem.

Well Google...will you prove me wrong?
