Online Community and where Google Plus stands

Back before facebook became the major social networking/online community place, our online community looked like this

Now a days it looks more like this

Credits to xkcd for making such awesome maps. Now this year google plus launched and from the lecture - we know that the employees at google now have their salary dependent on how well they improve google plus. As a regular user of most google type applications,  I have high hopes for google plus. Being in the beta and testing the social network is great but... somehow it does not have the hook facebook does at this current point.

What made facebook so popular? The easy to use interface and that many people suddenly started using it? 

That question is probably what google is asking and trying to implement so that they could get more users onto google plus. 

I also wonder how the next map is going to look like in  the next ten years as well
