Well someone invited me, and i opened my G+ account today. For me, the big draw was circles: a way of separating your people e.g. keep posts to drinking buddies strictly separate from post to hymn-singing church friends.
Facebook has a way to do it, but it snot intuitive (at least to me and my drinking buddies) There was a show on CNN saying people are starting to leave facebook because their mums now have accounts. Basically the cool kids are leaving the party because everyone, including the "uncool" kids have now arrived at the party! I suspect G+will pick up, if only out of curiosity...
