According to the Wall Street Journal today…

Google+ is playing catchup in the social networking space. They are just not catching the wave like Facebook has. Not yet anyway.

Google+ is growing quickly, but is like an empty hollywood set. There seems to be nothing behind the colorful fronts. Not yet anyway.

This reminds me of the old movie Blazing Saddles where Hollywood built a duplicate western town to have the gun fight and the buildings were just fronts, nothing else.

While Facebook users average 6 – 7 hours on the service each month, Google+ users avearge only 3 minutes.

We are still very early in this game and Google+ is brand new.

So don’t sell Google short. They have not hit every ball out of the park, but if they can catch this wave they could do very well. The question is IF though.
