You probably missed the android ecosystem and Google TV.

If google+ delivers a superb experience on mobile, tablet, desktop and TV, than not only Zuckerberg should be afraid. Steve Jobs should be affraid the most.

@mikeplates3mme: Why should His Steveness be afraid? Apple has no interest in either B-to-B services nor social networking. Haterz gonna hate, I guess. Sigh.

Don't feed the troll.

hay zuck do you masticate

@Mike: Don't answer the question.

I think you forgot about Ping. Not hard to do I guess.

I wanted to +1 this article.

googles bigger enemy is not apple its microsoft.Always have been.And since MS also has a stake in facebook and skype the two things whom G+ is competing with, and MS set to launch win8 for phones and tablets, the rivalry will get bitter.

I can't wait to be able to get onto Google+ because I've been done with Facebook since 2006. Why anyone ever loved Facebook with it's plainness is beyond me. Wow it has games, so does MySpace and about every other social site now including Tagged.

Personally, I feel Google + replaces twitter, facebook, and even forums and news based sites like PCWorld. The more I use circles, the more I find that someone can post an article, and I can reply with others who are following the poster of the article. I see their posts, and they see mine. And I can add the people I see in that chain into my circle and further the relationship with those people. And from there it just expands exponentially. I'd be surprised if Google + didn't change the face of the internet all by itself. I think even those using it haven't fully grasped the opportunity of Google+ just yet. It's still just sinking in.

If it continues to grow as I expect, soon I won't be on forums like this. Someone I know and respect will write articles and post them to their G+ stream. And I and others will repsond to them there. If a troll chimes in, we'll just block him. No moderators. No bad behavior. All the rotton noise will go away because each person will be in control of their unique stream of information and circle of friends.

It's like a bomb just went off. We're still in the billionths of a second after initial ignition. We haven't even felt the wave, pardon my pun, of the explosion yet. Right now, I'm following Andy Rubin, and three other Googlers so I am kept up with what's going on. I'm following those that I share views with on Google in general. I have my circle of friends, and even some news sites have created + streams. It's all just beginning.

Yeah, Apple wanted to tie in with Facebook, but the zuck wasn't interested. It's been reported months ago. And we see the deeper integration with Twitter. Apple clearly wants to be part of the social. Google is just putting really huge resources into actually doing it. Social really requires openness, which Apple tends to shy away from.

Google+ is for getting things done.
Facebook is for blabbing about your cat.

Interesting read, just one comment.. Facebook do offer iFrame integration for pages which use CSS & HTML. Although you are right about the restrained width (520px) which causes some problems for designers.
