"certainly not dissing Diaspora (or acqui-hire unless that leaves folks in the lurch). I've been playing with Diaspora and App.Net but, unlike G+ which has the weight of Google behind it and will succeed the challenge is getting momentum that will enable the switch. I was a very early G+ adopter but only now am I seeing enough folks active there for it to become a regular stopping place... Diaspora and AdN simply don't feel like they have the trajectory (though I would *love* to be proven wrong)"
