G+ seems to be feeding into the rampant narcissism that FB and twitter already fuel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwnJ5Bl4kLI&feature=player_embedded ... watching that clip, I thought to myself: just what we need in our society ... more "followers", fewer leaders (the guy who admits that he lacks internal confidence, that really scared me, and overall, I was struck by these people sounding very narcissistic and really self-involved)
Edit: as with most online tools, I do realize that, half of it is in "how you use it". That being said, as tools go, some tools lend themselves more to certain types of behavior than others. I could be completely wrong about this too, since I haven't myself tried G+ yet. Maybe it won't turn into the next FB or twitter. As far as I'm concerned, that'd be a good, and not bad, thing...
