G+ seems to function as some sort of big Twitter, where I just stop by every once in a while to see what people are saying. Sometimes I'll throw something out there. I originally thought G+ would kill FB, but now I am not so sure.

As for FB, the only thing that prevents me from deleting my profile is that it serves as an address book for people that I rarely contact. Geez, I wish someone would just make that: A "share your email address network". Old highschool friends could ask if you wanted to share emails, and you could confirm or deny. That's it. You wouldn't be obliged to look at their kids in Halloween outfits just because you want to maintain the option to contact them in the future. :)
