I keep hearing over and over that Google+ is doomed, that it is no longer being used, but each time I look at my own activity and realise I am posting more than I used to ever post before on Google+ but it is not going to everyone. I've got a circle for technical people, for college friends, for family and I can selectively post content to each one. Only rarely do I post something public and most of the time it is meant for wider consumption, or it is a link to my latest blog post.

Does Google+ have things it needs to add to become more useful? Absolutely, but I have found more engagement and user interaction on Google+ than on Facebook, mostly because I can curate the content to a specific subset of my circles thus making the content more relevant to those people, thus getting higher quality feedback from many different people.

I get higher click throughs to links on Google+ than I do on Facebook or Twitter, and I get more insightful and interesting debate on Google+ than those other two. That in my book is a win.
