Mashable.com writes about Features Update page for Google+.

I was hardly excited about another social media site when I first heard about Google+. However, I figured if anyone could take the basic framework of Facebook (which, let’s be honest is the most successful social network on the planet) and shave off all the junk that we don’t like about it….it has to be Google. So, as the rumors and sightings of Google+ began to crescendo, my interests did as well. A friend of mine was able to invite me into his circle and that’s how I got on.

It’s still in its infancy, so if you are lucky enough to get an invite…don’t be alarmed by the rolling tumbleweeds or the shortness of your stream (analogous to your Facebook Wall). These things take time, but I think you’ll quickly see that this is a cleaned up, streamlined social media site that lets you do exactly what you want – stalk people you don’t really care for. No wait, that’s what Facebook is for. I mean, stay in touch with people you actually like.
