G+ has some of Facebook's features, with Google-version evil rather than Facebook-version evil. One can debate the merits of each version of evil, if one wants.
G+ also has some of Twitter's features. And it has circles, which are kind of like LJ's custom friends groups. However, when you name-drop someone in LJ they don't know about it even if you use the < lj-user > construct. In G+ if someone name-drops you, you know about it.
Some people think that's better. I think it's a string of a different length.
How long is a piece of string?
