Exactly. The two are barely comparable from a content perspective:
On G+ I have a groomed list of about a hundred people scattered through various circles. I try and post something interesting or original every day: a link or one of my own photos. And what I typically see posted in return is great original content with a smattering of the most interesting links from people who's opinions and ideas I actually value.
On Facebook I'm peppered with the typical (and already thoroughly discussed) inane saccharine mommy-updates, zinga updates, and other random drivel on an account I only keep active because of there are a small handful of people so glued to the platform they no longer reply to regular email, but whom I need to be in contact every so often for various family or volunteering reasons.
The thing is that new users need some kind of G+ buddy system these days, a well-connected user to say: join, and circle these fifty people.
