Re: I for one will miss Google+
I agree, very good for groups with shared interests and, by using groups, thankfully free of inane drivel
I am not surprised site visit times are low, most of my G+ content is consumed via email as any "must read" content is configured to be emailed to me. Main use of site is settings tweaks or registering / unregistering group memberships, occasiinal browse of content I do not get emailed and only look at occasionally to catch up. I liked the way it was not in your face and it was easy to prevent message overload - as ever not happy with Googles rep for data snitching (though all groups I was on were hobby or IT related so nothing juicy for Google to snaffle)
As with any social media site any DOB etc used to register was junk, and email addy specific to that site
