I definitely agree. Google+ isn't that revolutionary that people will continue talking about it months from now when it's open to the public. They should've made it open to anyone and capitalized on all the press happening.
And I don't think Google+ will come anywhere close to overthrowing Facebook. Yes, the circles thing sounds cool and all, but it sounds cool to us rationalized hackers. For normal people, they just want a place to see what others are up to, to showcase their narcissistic profile, and to make witty comments. That's all. We don't need Circles. We don't even care about privacy.. it's just something us geeks cry about. The one thing Google probably didn't give as much thought to is how the user profile will look like. They probably put too much effort on the Circles feature.. well the Circles feature ain't gonna help make you look good to other people.. a fancy profile page will though, so there goes your traction.
