		Goronmon on Aug 29, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Google+ traffic down 27% in the last two weeks It will stop being invite only eventually And why will that matter? It doesn't change the point I mentioned. Why would a non-techie join a social networking site filled with techies? And Google will kill Google+ because people will stop using it and it won't make sense to keep such a large project going without a userbase.

Of course it will. It's a bottleneck, and once it's unrestricted and there is no friction to joining they will market it to the non-techies. And regardless even a techie exclusive user-base is far from worthless.
