I've always come away with the sense that they're not using the medium for its maximum potential and that it shows laziness. Now examine Google+. In my experience thus far, I'm seeing duplicate copy from Facebook and/or Twitter. If I was to share a link with my followers on Twitter, I would write some catchy tweet followed by the link. Since all they have is a short sentence or two to make them click the link, I better make every word count. Facebook allows me the option to display a thumbnail to describe the link with some context. And if I were to post the same thing on G+, I would probably write copy that encourages more engagement. The whole point on G+ is to share, share, share, so it needs to have some legs. If it doesn't on its own, you have to give it some. And thanks for bringing to my attention the study that found Facebook pages that push tweets see 70% fewer likes and comments. I would not expect that to be such a large number but I certainly understand. Great post!
