"An embarrassment for Google", really? Seriously? Google+ is actually designed far, far better than Facebook. And the implementation of communities and circles really gets social interaction right in ways that Facebook has not. Sure, Facebook has a much bigger user base. But I don't think Google+ sees itself as a direct competitor to FB. It's more of a tangential thing. I also think TechCrunch is hilariously off-base for writing that Google is dialing down Google+. I think all that stuff is pretty much clickbait.
