It is much like FB, you post what you want and you share what you want. Instead of 'like' on facebook, on Google+ you #1 it. you add people to your circles there instead of adding freinds. You can choose what your circles are. Friends, acquaintances, or create a group that they go into so that you can organize. So in a nutshell, just another FAcebook. It has chats and 'hangouts" etc.
