Google+ Is Not a Ghost Town, Maybe You're Using It Wrong

Google exec counters criticism about the social service

If Google+ looks like a ghost town to you, Vic Gundotra, Google’s svp of engineering, thinks the problem isn’t his social service, but you.

During a one-on-one conversation at the South by Southwest Interactive conference, blogger Guy Kawasaki asked Gundotra about recent criticism that Google+ isn’t getting much traction.

His response: “Make sure you’re using it correctly.” (Sounds a bit like Steve Jobs during antennagate, no?)

The majority of content is shared privately to circles, Gundotra said, adding that if you visit a page and it looks empty, “maybe they’re just not into you yet.”
