I have been on Fbook since 2009 (or late 08) and have 797 friends . . . . most of whom I know with a large percentage being people I have met. My stats show facebook to be one of my top referrers.

I joined G+ pretty close to the beginning. 2126 people have added me to their circles (like having Twitter followers). If I know 100 of them, I would be quite surprised. The stats results are not quite as obvious, but I do notice subtle things in my search results.

I also have a Twitter account and have for a few years. I don't do the phone thing, so I think that has something to do with only having 114 followers.

To be honest, I like FB better, but I stay with G+ for two reasons. They have a great photo viewer, so attract a lot of photographers. I enjoy that. The other reason I stay is that I expect at some point my longevity with them to reap benefits. We shall see.

I think Twitter does as much for spreading my content around as G+ does. I think G+ is Twitter without the 140 character limitation.
