Google+ is not as closed as Facebook though. You don't need a G+ account to view what people are talking about in there.


I don't see much difference.

The information that should be public without an account -- public events, businesses and so on -- is visible on Facebook without an account, including comments people have made on these pages. (Admittedly, the "Sign up to Facebook" banner is pretty large.)

The private stuff on Facebook -- personal posts, friends lists and so on -- is also private on Google+, where it exists.


They trick you into getting one anyways.
