The integration ability for Google Plus is existent without help from Facebook, or is it? After using the network for a week I have yet to obtain a good/expected following, the invite capabilities of Google+ are going to pose huge issues for Google and this new network. One would think this problem would have already been addressed. With its current tools you can only import contacts from Yahoo and Hotmail. I have found this to be somewhat dumbfounding, although they have integrated Google Chat and Picasa the overall features to invite friends into its Google+ network are lacking. Google Plus would actually gain by adding Facebook integration although that is far from the goal's of Google. This will eventually lead too Google+ biggest downfall as many users can not add friends.
The visual aspects of Google+ are lacking in design and user friendly tabbing compared to its counterpart Facebook. I'm wondering what happened to Google's founding principles of focusing on simplicity. Following the simple Google.com concept, simplicity should be a major aspect in the Google+ network.
How simple can you make a Social Network? I will leave that up for Google to figure out. I just believe it can be improved drastically! For those 800+ million users on Facebook; at this point the reasons for having two social networks is beyond me. Maybe Google will work out these issues, in my opinion Facebook has monopolized social networking. I found some cool features in the Google+ network such as the Hangout feature. It allows you too interact with Circle's simultaniously though video confrencing. I believe Facebook can integrate this just as easily as Google.
I can tell you Google+ is still a work-in-progress. Until they figure out how to open its doors, Facebook will continue to be my main form of online communication.
