Google+... or the black bar across the top of the google.com page?

The only thing I want to know about Google+ is how to immediately opt out when it goes live.

I'm already coding in Google++

Google is getting to be the new Windows Live... there is actually some cool ideas in it, but they have zero clue how to tie it together, there is no UI model, and no "center"... no "home". They beat the designers down to the point where they're useless and engineering thrives. New Microsoft in a way...

Google works, that's the difference.
Maybe they do not have the same appeal as many other products but everything they do is damn useful.- Wave? Buzz? Mail and iChat are *functional, but void of personalityjfletcher

Google is genius with some of their design work (Google Maps, Analytics come to mind)
But they've never really succeeded with social media. And here you have an application (like Wave) based around new ways of interacting that they *hope will catch on.
- They are desperate for a successful social network but wave is dead though.Dodecahedron

'Tineye' feature is quite efficient ...

Privacy considerations aside (Google seems to mention nothing about this), I just can't see Google+ surviving, no matter how much money they throw at it.
The simple reality is that Facebook hasn't just cornered the social networking market; they've got it locked up in a fortress.
On the other end of the spectrum, they won't be able to make in-roads on the business networking end (if they intended to, which they probably didn't) because LinkedIn has that locked down as well, and have for years.
In between, Twitter has micro-blogging nicely tucked away in its pocket.
Fact is, anyone who comes in this late in the game, hoping to make a good go of it had better have something really, really, REALLY special on offer that users will absolutely, positively want to explore. Otherwise, it's a waste of time and money.

I'm liking the changes, but they're rolling it out accross all sites at various times which means for a lotof inconsistency accross the board.
