Sorry for the controversial title, but that's essentially what Thomas Hawk is claiming in his post. His premise is basically twofold - that the Flickr look and feel is antiquated and (seemingly) hasn't been updated since 2004, whereas Google Plus is all funky and new. Also, there is a lot more community buzz (meetups, online etc.) happening around Google Plus, whereas the once hip Flickr seems to be languishing.

Has anyone managed to give Google plus a whirl yet? Personally, I give it a try from a social networking perspective and gave up on it because most of my buddies were still on Facebook. I must admit I have not given the photo side of Google Plus a go yet, so I should really spend some time exploring.
By the way, if anyone is interested, I have G+ invites - just drop me a PM or something and I'll get you one.
