Of course, but they don't. What is your point?

Why are you always defending Google in every story? How much they pay you to shill?

Google+ does have games, they introduced them last week with only a select partners. Others can join making them later. Google is just slow at copying all of Facebook's features.

Not really, it's mostly Google+ that tries to come out as a privacy ensuring social network with the idea of circles. It gives false sense of privacy to people. Also, with Facebook you only get ads and targeting within Facebook. With Google+ they use that data all over the internet.

They both do the same, and that's why it's better to have them as different entities. Otherwise you're just giving out everything to Google.

He is quite correct. I have a Facebook account and several of my friends who wanted to see it also do.. but it's empty. There's nothing happening there. This interesting article also says the same - there is nothing happening in Google+, while people just use Facebook like before. It also points out that the circles by design make Google+ less social "social network" by greatly limiting what people share and see.

I don't see it changing anytime soon either. Google+ misses all those things that make social network social. There's no pages either. I've noticed Facebook works nicely as some kind of a rss reader if you join the pages that interest you. Besides, I'm not quite comfortable with Google's datamining. They already have my searches, youtube views, analytics from everywhere of the internet..
