Yeah this does seem like the opportunity that google + has been looking for to get a bit of a boost.

I just don't think it will last. By "it", I mean the march to Google+. It would be different if social networking sites were like they were 10 years ago, and only internet devotees subscribed to them. But now you've got entire business strategies devoted to and built around Facebook. My 69 year old mother isn't going to march over to Google+, just because I tell her to. And none of my family is. None of my friends, who complained, actually left, and started posting as usual early this morning. I think the effect will be negligible on the whole.
