I joined Google Plus yesterday. Here are my thoughts on Google's attempt to compete with Twitter and Facebook on a social networking platform. On Facebook, you only have a connection to someone else if a "friend" request is both sent and approved. On Google Plus, you follow and are followed by other profiles without approval. You could technically follow many more profiles than follow you, or vice versa. In this way, it is much more like Twitter than Facebook. Right now, Google Plus is not nearly as robust as Facebook with its many applications, games and so forth. I expect that will change quickly.
