It'll be a tough sell getting folks to switch but it wouldn't be the first time a popular internet service (AOL, Napster, Yahoo, MySpace) degraded into a 90lb weakling or totally crashed and burned.
I can't wait to kick the tires and possibly leave FB behind.

I can't wait to kick the tires and possibly leave FB behind.
Google+ is smooth, fast and intuitive — a product that feels far more akin to the revolution that was Gmail than to its less successful initiatives like Wave and Knol.
It’s success in the end, however, won’t be about engineering — it will be about psychology and human nature.
Which is to say, Google+’s challenge to usurp Facebook will turn on whether people really will take the time — however little that is — to create and maintain circles. Facebook has successfully bet that while users say they want share more discreetly, they actually prefer to overshare — and that there are tangible benefits that come from letting an acquaintance or business partner see the photos from your weekend putt-putt golf outing.
