@ccrockett@... You don't have to add complete strangers as a "friend" just because you find their posts to be interesting. Facebook is great for simple communication between friends and family, but Google+ takes this a step further by also allowing you to keep up on others whom you would like to "follow" who may not reciprocate.
Add to the fact that you can also add people to your circle(s) who aren't even in Google+, it eliminates that barrier of (but so-and-so isn't a member of [x social network])... with Google+, you don't need to concern yourself whether or not someone uses Google+... you can still communicate with them via Google+.
