Facebook vs. Google+

Are you one of the lucky people that got into Google+? Well, if you haven't, I'll be telling you whether or not it is worth the wait and time, to find a Google+ invite (epic rhyme).
What does Google+ have that Facebook doesn't?
Well, Google+ is new, fresh, and has many things to offer that Facebook should have done a while ago.
First of all, Hangout. Hangout is a new feature on Google+, where you can videochat with upto 9 people at once for free. You can also groupchat and watch YouTube videos together while in Hangout. You can also choose who to invite to your hangout, and if you add your circles, they will see on their stream an option to join your Hangout. i also found call quality to be much better on Google+ than Facebook.
Huddle is Google's version of groupchat. What makes it better than Facebook's is that there are no bugs or any wierd problems where you can't see someone's messages. The other good thing about it is that you can also groupchat through your Android phone using the Google+ app (coming soon for iPhone).
Google+ also has for you it's advanced Privacy Settings. Say you upload a picture, you can choose who you want to see the photo by choosing circles, making it public, or typing in individual names. You can also view your profile as a friend, follower, etc., or anyone on the web, to see if there is any information you can see that you don't want shown.
Last main thing Google+ has to offer is Circles. Circles is a way to group your friends into catgeories. Once you're on Stream, you can choose to see all of your circles' streams, or specific circles. This makes it much more organized and more pleasant to view. If someone adds you to their circle, you will get a notification and an option to add them to your circle. If you don't want them, you don't have to add them, and they won't be able to see any of your information that you have blocked, until you add them.
Will Google+ become the #1 social netowrk?
It is to early to tell at this point whether or not Google+ become number one. Google+ is invite only, and it makes the public (or uninvited) more eager to join the network and try it out for themselves. Google+ already has 10 million users. It also has a lot of catching up to do, with Facebook being the second most visited website (according to Alexa.com) with 750 million users, and counting. I only have three Facebook friends that are on Google+, of the 350 friends I have on Facebook (I used an app to import my Facebook contacts).
Does Google+ have potential?
The way I see it, Google+ definitley has potential. It has a lot more to offer than other social networks. I think in a few years, it'll become the number one social network on the internet.
What are your final thoughts on Facebook vs. Google+?

Enough said. It's a repeating pattern. Remember when Myspace was so popular? Now it has become obsolete because of Facebook, and now Facebook
might become obsolete due to Google+.
