G+ is now my favorite "social" site because some of the people in my circles post interesting stuff, and G+ is set up to handle long conversations via comments.
A little off topic but the most excellent open source Discourse discussion web app has many of the features of G+ and I am curious how it would scale. (I set up a public instance yesterday at http://mythingsofinterest.com/ if you haven't tried Discourse, and want to try it). BTW, Discourse is also an example of a nicely written Ember.js/Rails app (uses Postgres and also Redis for caching).
