But Larry Dignan at Between the Lines speculates G+ "might well turn Facebook into the next MySpace. Because Google+ is cooler. Much cooler....

For his part, Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg is keeping his followers close and his enemy closer by being, early on, one most followed people on his new rival Google +, according to SocialStatistics.

Mash also has a little GoogPlus cheat sheet here.
