10 Reasons Why Google+ is Better Than Twitter

1. Status text can be any length from 0 to 100,000 characters, enabling much richer interaction and detailed explanation.
2. URL sampling provides rich snippets inline enabling rapid decisions over attention worth.
3. Video and images displayed inline rather than as links.
4. Hangouts (or direct video posting) with text chat/Google Docs/YouTube integration - a full blown conferencing tool much more stable than Skype.
5. Circles and individual-targeted posts allow fine grained control of privacy.
6. Circles and individual-targeted posts allow fine grained control of publishing.
7. Google+ is a refinement of what has gone before, optimizing attention stream architecture.
8. Google+ pages are a useful way to separate online identities, e.g. professional from personal interests.
9. Hashtag searches highly filterable to eliminate noise, e.g. Public, from your Circles only, etc.
10. Google has bet the farm on Google+. It isn't going anywhere.
11. But my friends/family/colleagues don't use Google+ yet. They will do.
