In the entertainment industry, it hasn't helped me find or retain work, so I find myself wondering if it's even beneficial for me to have one.

However, I expect that even if Google+ were given the same amount of time, it still would only be the largest in the tech industries, not across all audiences. I think there are advantages to G+ but winning the war against Facebook? I don't see it happening.  Absolutely – it is significantly younger.

For some people, this won't mean anything since they'll be able to do almost everything...BUT, they'll miss out on some of the extra special tricks a specialist may know. At the end of the day though, if you're passionate about one thing, go down that path! If you don't know, try them all. :) I started out as a specialist (writer, content developer,) but now I’m slowly becoming a polymath (some design/programming/etc.) Thing is that when you go down the “Jack of all trades” route, you end up becoming master of none.

Everyone on Facebook has enough friends that they continually communicate with on Facebook that it's hard for people to make the transition to other Social Networks. However, I REALLY like the Google+ audience. As a techie myself, I really like the ability to interact with people that aren't currently in my "Circles". I think that is definitely a plus (no pun intended).Hangouts are sweet. The ability to share exclusively with certain people or entire circles is definitely more pronounced in G+ than it is in Facebook. On Facebook, I feel like my group of friends is one giant circle while in G+, I feel like I can hide behind any one Circle or join the discussion with the general public.G+ is much better than Facebook in my opinion. Let's give a few years to prove itself. I made a comment about the new Google+ layout on my Google+ page.

I'm still learning. But that said, I eventually want to be a specialist. I'd love to be able to focus on one area instead of juggling five!

NOW I want to take my video skills to the same level which will take time and focus. I too enjoy exploration, but for now I am leaning towards focus. I am as good at Photoshop as I am going to get.

While I like the lure of being a Renaissance man, I want to be a specialist now. I get my "multi" on when I teach. Outside of the class I want to focus now and then have trusted friends and associates I refer the other work to. (hint, hint)  ;) It is true.
