You could call it flamebait, but fanboy deathmatch sounds cooler
The most interesting thing about Google+ to me is how the features seem to be intended to cover areas that Facebook either doesn’t do, or doesn’t do well. But tech news is so much more interesting when you can work the words ‘death’, ‘killer’ and ‘attack’ into the article somewhere.
In my own post, Google Adds More Social, I mentioned that maybe a lot of users might use more than one social network. But that is not as interesting as groin stabbing.
