How is Google+ a failure!! I use is all the time, there is tons of interaction (depending on who you circle), tons of great content, and some times I see breaking new on it (even before twitter).
Up next Apple's failures, I hope one of them is ping, Does anyone use it anymore?

google+ is like t-moble they have very few users and even fewer ACTIVE users. Also there company looks to sell it because its taking way to much resources.
Ping is like Sprint they have a good user base thats active (though not as many as Facebook or twitter)
(personal opinion: Ping was never meant to be a social network like twitter or Facebook. it was meant to be a place to share your musical interests and find new ones. Steve Jobs wanted to share music and thats why Ping was created)
Twiiter is like AT&T its a innovative player (who makes controversial moves) with a big active (Very active) user base. AT&T customers complain about phone service Twitter complain about a big blue fish.
Facebook is like Verizon it boast about its big supposedly active user base, but does nothing but use already know ideas. and take in all the money it can get.

I've likened Google+ to walking into a High School Gym on Sunday Morning. It's so empty your footsteps echo and if you listen you can feel the lack of anyone or anything going on.

Lol, well, at least they didn't have the unfortunate mistake of developing a proprietary, innovation-stifling, terrible OS, known as iOS.

what OS has REAL people using it every day & only takes 3 models vs. 600+ models to have the top market share (if you don't include Androids repeat activations)
also what OS is virus plagued? thoughts so.
last thing, what OS has the highest satisfaction rate? again thoughts so.

That OS (iOS) has created more innovation (Textbooks, TV, and countless app) what has android done? Create hackers and viruses if thats what you call innovation then wow you need a jail cell
