the best of any social network in one word PHOTOS. Google+ photos is the killer feature. Try it. It backs up all your photos you have great editor for your pictures and then there is auto awesome.
My interest in Google+ is the same interest I had in facebook years ago: some site I upload and share my personal photos with people I choose.
Now, I see that:
1. my photos upload automatically from my android to Google+, so I never have to worry about accidentally losing them. (and yes, you can set FB up to do that too)
2. my photos look better on Google+ because it doesn't squeeze the quality out of them like FB does. (and yes, you can somehow get FB to improve that too, but I never even bothered to looked)
3. I can edit my photos right in the browser.
4. It shows me many different auto-awesome features, and allows me to stitch photos and clips into movies in seconds...
5. I don't have to worry about friends I add tomorrow, or next year, seeing photos I shared yesterday!!! If you've had multiple x-girlfriends, as I imagine most folks on HN have... that could be a constant problem.
Those features didn't all come up over night, but somewhere along the line I stopped using FB and started putting photos on Google+
