Well, I guess I hope people don't abandon twitter for it, because I will probably miss out on news etc. I can't multitask on my iPhone yet (still on a 3G), and there is no way to get notifications of G+ like I get twitter push notifications. Also I have the echofon plugin for Firefox that I can still use at work.

Cross posting from g+

I finally figured out what it is about Google's circles that's so much better for me than Facebook's friends lists (besides the accessibility of the feature). On Facebook, the model is, "Post for everyone to see...except these people." On Google it's, "Choose which people you want to include on this post." I like that model much much better.

Ok, I've only been on for a day (and for 15 minutes of that day) but here's the Facebook Killer aspect of it:

Not one bit of clutter in the stream from games telling me what game So and So is playing at just that moment, or what quiz they just finished or that they'd really like it if I viewed my horoscope or bull**** like that.

Unfortunately, I expect that this is a benefit not long for this world.

Also, I expect a future in which I'll add my Gmail account to a circle and I just view incoming mail there (while still responding to it like email).

You can disable all of that in the facebook settings.

Wel, not exactly - you can block individual games, or sites, but there is no generic setting to turn off all game updates. Usually you just have to blacklist your gamer friends and not get any of their content.

I'm pretty sure I know who the mutual contact(s) are but it's very bizarre seeing Wil Wheaton and Alyssa Milano show up as friend suggestions.

I keep getting Felicia Day recommended, I had to look her up to make sure she wasn't someone I knew from a prior Disney board.

Google is trying to meld the Facebook and Twitter models. So they are expecting people to have circles of people they follow, but are not friends.
