It should be pointed out that the author currently is employed by Facebook, and is not an impartial user commenting on the rivalry.
That said, I found it hilarious that the author went on a defensive tirade for half of his post trying to somehow undermine the "Public" option when you make a post on Google+. It appears he completely missed the point of it being Public: that anyone is free to view and/or comment on it, along with your friends. That's what Public means, and there's a reason it's off by default.

There is no need in grouping your friends in any way, just create a circle with all your friends and those will behave the same way facebook does,at least if I got it right (by the time I got my invite it was already full). I think there is a difference in what I want my friends and family to know about me and what people I just know but have no deeper relationship with should know. Posting something publicly would make it accessible for everyone, twitterlike.
