BRAVO! I was just going to say the same thing...

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+
