Maybe my history is wrong, but wasn't the social "feed" largely pioneered by ex-google employees (Bret Taylor, Paul Buchheit, etc)?

IIRC, facebook was all about the "wall" before friendfeed. Google has already gotten real names and identity from Google+, but I can't help but think the key insight into social existed at google before anyone had talked about Google+. Google+'s big mistake is being too late. The product is perfectly fine.
