I have both but am not completely sure Google+ is better.  This is a great question!  **Is Google+ *better* than Facebook? Twitter?**  Let's begin by asking, What is the difference between Google+, Facebook, and Twitter?  Google+ has the potential to replace most, if not all, of the services that you currently use to share information.  Rather than send email, use G+ to share your thoughts with only one person. Rather than post to a blog, use G+ and make your thoughts public. Rather than tweet, use G+ to share your 140 characters with everyone. Use Google + to share indiscriminately with a large circle of "friends," and you’re back to Facebook. Share discriminately with a select circle of associates, rather than send a bulk-email, use a listserv, or configure an invitation service. Share with yourself, rather than opening a journal. Share photos with your family, rather than uploading to a third-party photo-sharing service. Google+ is highly configurable and potentially replaces a wide range of services — email, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, invites, listserv, and photo-sharing. As one well-known blogger explains, “You simply say what you have to say, then decide who you’re going to say it to.” But, does this mean that Google+ is *better* than Facebook and Twitter?   Absolutely not! No.  If I want to share information with my sister and her family, then I *better* go to Facebook. They don't use G+. If I want to view my daughter's pictures from her summer internship, I know that I *better* coax her to share a Facebook link. All of her friends are on Facebook. If I want to track a current event in real-time, such as the recent events in London, then I *better* turn to Twitter. If I want to share something with my dad, I *better* use email.  In general, I *better* choose the communication tool — G+, Facebook, Twitter, email, blog, and so forth — that *best* suits my audience and purpose.  **What do you think? Which social-media site* best* suits your needs? Why? ** Please share your thoughts in the comments below!
