As Tom Anderson also argued a while ago: it's not a facebook-competitor in its current form yet, but that doesn't matter.
What matters is that G+ is proving to be a nice blend between twitter and a blogging platform. When large content-creators switch to G+ (and a lot of them are, because of 1. followers, 2. larger posts, and 3. comments) their audience will slowly move over to G+ as well.
I will not be surprised if this will gradually result in more facebook-like activity (closer social contact, between friends) on G+.
