I’ve been on Google+ for less than a week, and already it’s won me over. Here’s why:
- Circles: sharing content with only certain people and not others is much easier than on Facebook.
- It’s lightweight, and much faster than Facebook (in terms of page loading times).
- The ability to follow someone without having to be “Friends” with them.
- No apps (yup, I *hate* apps on Facebooks).
- No ads.
Admit it. You are looking for those things too. And if you’re scared that not all your friends are on there, don’t worry. They soon will be. Day by day I’m seeing more of my friends join, and my “Friend” count is increasing very rapidly. So go ahead; take the plunge. You’ll love it.

The only thing they don't have yet is a publicly released API, but I guess that's because it's sort of in Beta still.

Yeah, I'm sure they will make it available soon enough. At the moment I've got no need to use it yet anyway.
