Yes, the one they weren't going to make a big deal about�with pomp and circumstance. It's real. And it's here. Sort of.

Instead, it's because what they're comfortable showing off right now is just step one of a much bigger picture. When I sat down with Gundotra and Horowitz last week, they made this point very clear. In their minds, Google+ is more than a social product, or even a social strategy, it's an extension of Google itself. Hence, Google+.
