Where Google+ is better than Facebook

The new kid on the social networking block, Google+ has been in field trial for just over a month. After using it actively this past week or so, I thought I'd write down the things that I like about it. Before I start, a disclaimer: this is  not  a post bashing Facebook, nor am I claiming that Google+ is the best social network out there. This is meant to be a list of the details that make me lean ever so slightly (all right, a lot) towards Google+. Some terminology before we start (Facebook on the left, Google+ on the right), wall/news feed = stream friend list = circles Here's the list of places where I think Google+ is better than Facebook, starting with the smaller details before moving to the larger differences between them. Skip to the end for the tl;dr version. 1. Editable posts and comments Google+ allows you to edit as well as delete your posts and comments. There is no time limit, and the time of last edit is displayed. Facebook does no
