I'm still convinced the failure of Google+ was due to the throttling of people's ability to join the site.
FFS, it's a SOCIAL NETWORK. A social network is worthless if your friends can't get on it. There were so many memes at the time of people getting excited to get an invite to join Google+ only to find that out of there 50+ Facebook friends, only a couple of them were on Google+. And if your friends aren't on the network you don't get into the habit of checking your feed, and then eventually you just forget about it entirely.
It'd be nice if Facebook would implement something similar to Google+'s "Circles" feature. I'd love to be able to post some programming humor and have it only get displayed to my fellow technical friends and not clog my grandma's feed. Facebook has a way to do this, but you have to check individual people, and do it for every post.
