I occasionally mention to friends that I use Google+, and every once in a while the response I get includes a mildly self-righteous statement about how evil Google supposedly is ... hence a reason for that friend to avoid G+. And almost invariably, those same people are very-heavy users of Facebook. Talk about throwing stones from a glass house.
