I just think the content I get on Google Plus is more interesting. That said, Facebook has allowed me to reconnect with people I knew in college or did MMUDs with in the 90s. It makes it easy to see what my nephews are up to, whereas if I emailed them -- well, first of all I *wouldn't -- and asked what's up, the answer would be "not much". It has its uses, and as Erika said, one of them is marketing. I personally am not using it for that at the moment -- I am doing more B2B stuff right now. I think it just depends on your definition of "best".
