Just like Google. Give people no reason to use something, just put it out there, and hey "We're Google!" and they will come.

Except no, they don't.

It's worked multiple times for them in the past, most notably with search.

I just don't like when they make it a part of Google, Orkut was better than Google Plus IMO for that reason.

If they could build a social network, I would probably enjoy it being part of search. Show me links people I follow have tweeted that are related... seems like that would be a killer app.

Yeah seriously, they keep putting out these products that no one ever wants to use. Like that Google Maps thing or that Chrome browser or whatever. Geez.

That's neither obvious from your post, nor is it even valid in this context.
