I am, have not really used it yet...will one day. I hate FB & for me think G+ is more me with the privacy. I also like the groups you can make so you can share what you want with whoever you want.

I'm on it. It's fine, but most people still use Facebook as their main social networking site, so I don't use it too much as everything's on Facebook! It's nice for the group video chat though. I've gotten together with a few overseas friends and we just let our babies stare at each other for a while.
I don't think I can be bothered putting time and effort into two social networking sites, so I'll stick with Facebook as my main one for now, unless all my friends up and quit Facebook for Google.

DH got rid of his FB ages ago & was one of the first to get G+ & set me up also..but I have not got into it to much but I do send him pics of the kids as one of our groups is just him & me so no one else sees what we say...love that.
I think it looks way better than FB & because you can make up your own groups you can keep things separate which is so appealing for privacy. I don't use FB much, don't like it & some of the things I read makes me think why would you put that out there??? A young family member is on FB & the verbal crap that spills out for everyone to read is a worry...no wonder he can't get a job as all a potential employer has to do is google him & read the sh*t he says
I have DS1 (10yr) friends from school requesting to be friends with me...like I am going to let a bunch of kids read what I do or have access to what my family say. DS1 wants a FB account & no way is he going to get one but he can have a G+ when he is ready.
Google+ will be more popular I think but maybe with those who don't like FB...& I don't care if they don't have games on it, I don't have time to sit at the computer & play games day in day out.
Go Google +

I have Google+ but don't go on it much. I guess because I don't have many friends and family on there. So it's kind of boring for me at the moment. But I so do think it's got heaps going for it. Especially the video chat!

DH and I both have it, but like others have said, until people make the move from FB it just doesn't have the same appeal.
It does have some great features and is much more upmarket than FB

You do know you can also create groups on FB and control exactly who sees what. You just have to be smart with how you use it ;)

Yes I know that but I don't like FB...where people get the time to write down every little boring thing in their life amazes me & that they have hundreds of friends that want to read it...yawn.
I use it to message people & catch up with family not near by...I don't add photos to it any more.
To me google+ is the up market version of FB, looks better & suits my needs...but if I was into FB & spent hrs on there then I would probably not move over...lucky I don't have that issue

Only annoying thing is, now they have changed the video chat and you have to invite people to chat. And I don't remember everyone on there's email address. Grr!
