Although the initial hype around Google+ was strong, it seems to be losing some of its appeal. In fact, it’s even been declared dead by some including Dan Reimold, the Assistant Professor of Journalism at the University of Tampa.

As he explained to WebProNews, Google+ hasn’t offered him anything that he wasn’t already getting from Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and other sources. He said he actually became “bored” with the service.

After publicizing his opinions, Reimold told us that many others have expressed the same feelings. He said the future of the service would really be dependent upon how many users were actively using it in 6 months.
