No their UI sucked. One third of the page was occupied by a stupid header you couldn't even reduce or remove with a CSS hack. I hated it. Fortunately now, most websites doing that tend to disappear.

Also, the content of the page itself was 1/3 wide, which is ridiculous when one is trying to read a long blog post.

The Google+ was a disaster UI wise, I would not be surprised it highly contributed to its demise.

What? I must have missed that because I don't remember seeing it.

Which would be much wider than the actual content on it's main competitor facebook.
