Ask HN: Why hasn’t Google killed Google Plus?

Many people, my wife included, use it regularly. Does it seem like a ghost town to you? Well, we just aren't sharing with you.

That's all I needed to hear. Google+ is the most legit social networking site now.

If you haven't heard about this person's wife using Google+ it's a little bit of anecdotical evidence that it's doing its job of supporting communities rather than generically connecting people (like Facebook).

The user interface remains outstandingly bad, but I've never seen clickbait links or scammers on Google+.

I've seen plenty of spammers, though. People who tag you in things that have nothing to do with you to only drop dodgy links.

Some elements seem unnecessarily complex, but I actually like Google+'s UI. No one I know uses it so therefore I don't either, but I do like the look of it.

This grumpy old engineer likes it.

So, how long have you both worked at Google?
