In summation, Facebook and Google+ are very similar social networking sites which can be used for a number of other purposes. The main differences are within the "Circle"s on Google+ and the chat capabilities of both websites. While Facebook is vastly more popular than Google+, currently, Google+ is a much newer program and will likely become more popular once users begin to realize that the site exists and understand how to use it.
