Interesting note about Google+ vs Facebook - go ahead and look, at the least, at the airlines/cable companies, which Facebook's rating is being compared to. They're hated because they're seen to offer 'homogenous products', or rather, it's that people have a beef with the whole airline/cable experience because of shared problems (Local Monopolies, substandard service, hidden fees, the TSA in the case of airlines)
So, in all seriousness - what are the chances of Google+ picking up some of those 'destructive practices' that Facebook has? Privacy is probably not the biggest reason people hate it; spammy updates (From app developers), the whole social drama thing (Anywhere you have people, you have drama) and difficulty deleting data (Do you really think Google wants to delete your data eithe?) are 'traps' I can see Google+ falling into just as easily. The only thing I'm dead sure Google+ will do right that Facebook does wrong, is to not shuffle their UI every few months and reset all your settings. Considering how much of an advantage that gave hem in search over Yahoo and competitors ages ago, I doubt they'll ever forget. That said, I'll still join Google+ (I care about privacy), but, I'm not as sure you're going to see a mass exodus unless if the geeks like us drive it somehow - see the family photographer converting to G+ and pulling the family photos with them. Go ahead and do it yourself too if you can - we'll probably need it if we really want to pull people away from FB.
