I had some time today to poke around Google+ and I think they got something right.
The experience is intuitive and smooth. I really like the "circles" feature. Facebook's news feed concept remains at the center, but the separation between true friends and "people I don't know well" is an important one. With Circles, Google got the logic right. It's easy to see who belongs where and change things about.
The invite feature could use some work as the message dialogue was lacking. Did I just send you an invite? I don't know for sure (I had to check it).
The integration with Picasa makes photo sharing and management a breeze for me and that's a big plus.
We expected something good and this is definitely in the right direction. Go Google!
Erlend, I know this article is old but I wanted to see if you still think it's valid or you need an edit.
I just read Fast Company's very interesting article about the Fab4. I really think they have some good points when they talk about how these companies are digging into and clone the competitors tools. Not that I think it's a good thing, it may just be for a not so obvious purpose.
But what do I know...
