Google+: A few big improvements before the New Year

There was such a huge influx from my friends to use Google+ when invites were first sent out, but now, barely anyone in my circles use it anymore. However, when I do check it, my feed is filled with posts from 2-3 power users from my Randoms Circle, so this "graphic-equalize" feature is very welcome!

Just curious, has anyone stopped using other soical networks and are using G+ instead, or do you use G+ on top of them?

I've pretty much switched from Facebook to Google+. I find G+ a much more comfortable place on the whole, but I get the impression that Facebook isn't really aimed at me.

What Google+ is missing when compared with Facebook is the event planning tool. The one time I find myself returning to Facebook is when someone is organizing a party or a night out.

Yah that's true, I use the event planning a lot in Facebook.

I find that G+ is good for finding content on topics, and creating a community around them. I just don't see any use for more personal social networking as long as all my friends are on Facebook.
