Theoretically, Google could let you "hide" certain posts if you're not logged in.

The thing that killed blogs as they are is that they're too serious. When signing up you need a title, subtitle, and input is optimized for long essays. Facebook is optimized for sign up, write your name, find friends, and post pictures, videos and sometimes text.

Really, if Google+ was Blogger Basic where you sign up, put AdWords, post pics, and it could have taken off.

There are/were microblogging platforms that let you write a line or post an image.
