If Google's Management Doesn't Use Google+, Then Why Should You?

<i>First, these senior Googlers could be posting a ton privately and we simply don’t know it. But it’s more likely that their lack of public engagement is indicative of their lack of engagement overall.</i><p>Almost all of my G+ posts are private. I guess I don't use the service either.

"Eating your own dogfood" is nice and all, but why do we expect the top executives of a massive organization to actively participate and dictate every aspect of every facet of the company? That's the point of delegation; Google+'s lead developer _does_ use Google+, and that's what's most important.<p>Is anyone else baffled as to why people seem to care about this? For a parallel, what's Bill Gates' gamerscore? Does he even have an Xbox Live account? (If he does, please mention it.) For that matter, how often does the CEO of Johnson &#38; Johnson douche himself? These are, apparently, the facts that matter.<p>Mandatory disclaimer: I have a Google+ account, but I've never once posted anything (I just wanted my name to appear in the header bar on my Google pages (yes, I'm vain)).
