What did Google+ get right?

Here are my thoughts, both on technical advantages and community:

The first of my planned articles about messaging and social networking

Google plus had circles

… so unlike with twitter I didn’t have to spam everyone to reach those two followers who’d actually care about that topic. Google plus had collections

… so unlike Facebook and Twitter, people who were interested in some of the same things as me wouldn’t have to follow everything I ever posted. Example: I had collections for:

Java (links and comments)

local stuff (my pictures from my town etc)

retro stuff (c64 etc)

Google plus had groups

… kind of like Facebook groups but without having to deal with Facebook.
