Google is trying too hard to "be like" Facebook. They should try to be "better than" FB.

What do you think about the latest in Google's attempts to derail traffic from Facebook? Basically it is the equivalent of FB Groups.

It's good as far as it is Ad free or displaying ads not facebook way.

Another irritating thing about facebook groups is that anyone can add you and spam your timeline.

Well, actually in G Communities, if you make them public, also anybody can spam you. :(
