What Google has understood, and put (with some glitches) into practice, is what Facebook has resisted. First, privacy has been baked into the service, not added as an afterthought. The privacy settings still need work, but it's clear that Google has learned from the mistakes it has made and the ongoing privacy insults that Facebook showers on its users.

Second, Google appreciates the reality that we live in generally non-concentric groups such as family, close friends, colleagues, people with whom we do business, social acquaintances and more. And G+ makes it relatively easy to sort people into a group or groups where they most naturally fit.

Google+ affecting peoples Klout-scores and influence - or "not" - Via Rick Klau

Google+ affecting peoples Klout-scores and influence - or "not" - Via Rick Klau | The Google+ Project | Scoop.it
So far, Google+ activity is not supported by analytical influence tools like Klout and PeerIndex. If you are scaling down your activity in Twitter and Facebook, and scaling up on Google+, your influencer scores are probably being influenced.
This is what Rick Klau wrote after having checkes his Klout Scores: "Ha! Want to guess when G+ launched from this screencap of my Klout ranking?"

"Why Klout Sucks, Part XVIII", Chris Pirillo wrote in the stream.
