No thanks, I'm tired of Google mercilessly expanding, why can't companies just focus on doing their particular 'thing' and doing it right? Am I going to be sitting in a Google Web Cafe in 5 years time? Playing a Google video games console?

I don't hate Google at all, they're great, but I draw the line at search engine and email provider, I'll give them Chrome... and Android... but beyond that, seriously, isn't it time to draw the line?

The broader a company's range of products the harder it is to maintain high standards. More products = More employees = More decentralised management = Less scrupulous recruitment standards = Exponentially more employees with mediocre ability in their specialized field. = Lower output standards for products.

You can let me know anytime if you want one.

Facebook is worldwide now, I don't believe Google+ will surpass its user base.
Oh, Also, It doesn't have much spam... For now.
Honestly, I don't know what the purpose of Google+ is, Though.

Hmmm...I have a strange feeling I know you from somewhere...hmmm

I am enjoying Google+. I'm not sure why. Seems I just like the sophistication that Google has compared to Facebook. hahaha

I like Google+ because I have it, and my parents are on Facebook. They won't understand it, and won't switch. Also no farmville for them, so no incentive. Problem Finish.

I have it as well just to tinker around with and see what becomes of it. I do have to say that I like the circles idea. There may be something that you don't want certain people to see (I'm like that with Facebook because I have a lot of family members added who wouldn't appreciate certain things said.

Because it's run by humans and therefore driven by the human condition.  People want more everything.  We aren't content with being stationary because that's boring and it doesn't justify our existence.  Time needs to be well spent because we only ever have less of it.

The longer you work the more money you want.  The bigger your company should be.  The more children / grandchildren you have. 

Google can have a cafĂ© if they want, but remember that no one is gonna force you to go inside.  :P
