Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and all those started life as experiments and evolved to become what they have today. Google+ is the first product I’ve seen that is designed and implemented in the acknowledgement of the outcomes of those experiments, having made some mature decisions about what it is people actually want from social networking. I feel like the web is finally starting to grow up.

Much like the Google search engine was a calculated and intelligent response to Lycos, Altavista, Infoseek, etc.
And Gmail was a calculated and intelligent response to Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail?
Actually, yeah. I guess "coming last but being awesome" is one of Google's tactics.
