Some updates, though very personal: I barely have 8 people in my "circles" and none of them seem to be using the Plus exhaustively ...
I certainly can't tell that this is global trend, as I see some millions of users reported, but I was wondering whether you are seeing the same.
I still can't find that useful bits and pieces that will get me out of Twitter (I'm ready to accept critics on my usage of that social network, in fact, I've been receiving many negative comments about it, for some reason
)
