Google Talk is in IM+. One is a service, the other is a client. They are instant messaging.
Twitter and Google Plus are both social networks, not instant messaging.

Well i have used all these three things. I say using Twitter is simplest. Facebook is in industry for a way long time and people are therefore very friendly with it. If comparing between Facebook and Google +, google + is very new and it will take time to make it popular like facebook (i guess years). I don't leave any three of them. everyone has their own specializations and uses.

Personally because of all of the changes made to Facebook, I see it as becoming more annoying and higher matenience. I love Google+ and Twitter, but Facebook is just making me want to dump it in the trash.

Hangout on the iPhone?
just curious, has anyone attempted a hangout on their iPhone? if so, how was the quality?

i doubt G+ will be the FB Killer that some people think. i am having a difficult time getting my friends to convert. i look at it as just another social network, not THE only one for me
however, i'm finding myself making new friends on G+, which is pretty cool

I installed Google+ fairly early. Before the public release. I have one friend who posts several times a week. Maybe four other friends who post once every week or two. Lots of people who follow me, but since I don't post anything public- I don't see the point. I can read their posts, but they don't really interest me. None of my family or close friends have adopted it. The interface seems awkward and boring. It is not visually pleasing.
Did you watch F8? I was entranced. I wasn't as annoyed by the Ticker as most- I gave it a chance, and now really like it. I appreciate the little not-so-important comments being removed from my news feed. I installed Timeline as soon as I discovered that could be done ahead of time and have worked the last two weekends adding content from milestone events in the years past. When I look at my timeline, or those of my few friends that have taken the time to install it ahead of time, I see a rich, colorful, interesting documentation of what my friends want to say is important in their lives. I don't know about Open Graph- I'll have to see what it is like when it goes live and I am able to install some of the apps. It looks very interesting, though.
I have _lots_ of close friends, acquaintances, family, coworkers who actively participate on Facebook, most daily, lots constantly! Compared to that, Google+ is just so barren and sterile.

I haven't started any, but I've participated in a few. The quality is good, probably better than it was back in the day when I was doing a lot of video/irc chat from the pc.
I'm still a huge fan of G+, although I'm so busy these days I'm not posting as prolifically as I once did on Twitter. My only posts on FB are automatic, things like 4square checkins or blog posts.

Meh.
I'm to involved in facebook to get up and move to another social network.
Not to mention the few weeks i spent there, the search didn't work for friends at all. I had to manually get a link to their page.

I like Google+ for sharing news articles and discovering content. However, I find that since not all my friends have Gmail accounts, then I don't have a lot of people to share with/connect with. Facebook remains my primary network.

How did you get Timeline? I clicked the button to Sign Up, but haven't been upgraded to Timeline yet.

Just Google How To Get Facebook Timeline Now, or similar. You'll find links. There is a step by step pictorial post that tells you exactly what to do. You sign up to be a Facebook developer. It only takes a few minutes.
Once you are a developer and have Timeline, only other developers can see your Timeline now. So then you have to badger your friends into doing it.

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't Timeline, and other new features, supposed to go public soon?
Thanks for the info I havent ventured in yet but will do - sounds like they could have the right mix
