Finally. Now somebody just needs to do this for academic papers that taxpayers pay for and leech publishers profit from.
kanenathan213··on The One Google Plus Feature Facebook Should Fear
So true. The red notification really hooks you back in.

It's because Google+'s social signal to noise ratio is so much higher than Facebook. I dread the red notifications in FB's upper left corner bc they're usually from some friend of friend's irrelevant spam event/survey/tagging etc. Google+ Circles really filters thats out.

Facebook's mistake was introducing Groups so late. With Circles, users can create Circles AS friends join. I will never retroactively organize my Facebook "friends" into Groups. I will, however, take a little time each day as new REAL friends come to Google+ to organize them to reflect real social structure.

Google 1. Facebook 0.
