You need social-networking that is much more exclusive and much much more well-known.
Maybe a multi-level thing where everyone can join and put up a picture but you have to be google+ invited to play games and then you need to be "old-facebook" level invited to get PMing rights and then elite-membership to see who's been to your page or clicked to see your posts. (elite is sold at 120 a year).
This is how you do it.

Exclusivity, standard layout, and useful things like "relationship status" are what jumpstarted Facebook....
I remember it launched the year I graduated high school. Believe me, my entire graduating class had facebook accounts as soon as we got our .edu addresses. I'm still "friends" with almost all of them, heh.
Also I never caught on to Myspace because of the horrid layout (ugh, it was worse than geocities).

i dont have a facebook account.
i was excited to get on google plus, but then i realized they don't have google plus for apps accounts. so fuck that.
why does everything google do recently fail? they had so many home runs in a row, everything of late is just crap.

New Coke was delicious, well received and sold BIG TIME.
The formula, at-least... the actual presence of the name was bad mojo.

Google apps does have G+ now. Your admin has to enable it.
Google+ is not going away anytime soon. I don't see why it has to convert most Facebook users to be considered successful. G+ doesn't want to *kill* Facebook. It has different approach to social networking, and therefore different niche. I have several active circles on G+ that I'm a member of, and these haven't slowed down since the beginning.
A lot of what's going on in G+ are in closed circles. In fact, if you saw my G+ profile you'll see me post maybe two times in the first week only. And you'll be dead wrong if you think I abandoned it, because I post a lot, but as soon as I figured out the circles and have them setup to my liking, all my posts are always targeted to (their appropriate) circles. I don't post for public anymore.
I can definitely see Facebook, Twitter, and G+ coexisting for a long time.

There were two kinds of people: those on myspace and those who thought myspace was full of pedophiles. It was never going to be a serious application for housewives and grandparents to communicate on.
Make no mistake, facebook is the prime target of G+. They do compete in exactly the same space. Very few people will ever have an active account on both.
That said I'm surprised people still use twitter and facebook at the same time, so the true attention whores of our world (about 80% of the population) do have a proven ability to self-promote on more than one site.

Because they're two completely different social platforms serving a similar purpose?
That's like saying, 'I'm surprised people still ride bicycles and drive cars at the same time.'

And I am disagreeing with you. They seem to be similar on the outside, and they basically 'copy' (+improvement, etc) features from each other, but if you look at how each site are currently being used by their users, they have quite significant differences. I can see this clearly because I have accounts on both sites and I go to FB and G+ for completely different reasons.
I understand how you (and possibly most people) think G+ and FB are exactly the same thing, but this statement confuses me as Twitter is a completely different animal altogether
G+ is all right. Nothing special, and I prefer Facebook circa 2009ish, but it's INFINITELY better than Facebook now. I deleted my FB account and won't go back unless some big changes take place. About 1/3 of my FB friends have come to G+ either exclusively or alongside FB.

I hear so much about New Coke I wish I could try it. I see it was released in 85 and discontinued in 2002 (by then almost nonexistent as Coke II). However it was almost completely gone only a few years after 85. I was living in Asia for much of the early part of this period so that might explain why I have never tried it despite potentially being able to have. Unlike most things, old food fads aren't really possible to revisit, given food's inherent shelf life.
I'm sure you could buy vintage unopened cans but I would be dubious about trying them. Even if there's no danger I would imagine it would be stale as shit.I hear so much about New Coke I wish I could try it.

Where I really hate that fact is Crystal Pepsi. I think I'd probably pay $20-50 for a 12 pack if it was still drinkable.

Coke is serious business! Edit actually that's unintentionally true, it IS serious business.

Now Crystal Pepsi I may have tried. I have some vague memory of it. But yeah there's another one I'd like to try.
It seems like about half the people said it tasted the same, and half said it was entirely different and the greatest thing ever. I know that it quickly became THE drink of choice at all our school functions, parties, family events, etc.
