Home screen of Google+ is very clean & simple in its white theme,you may find some of the features similar to Facebook but the functionality is quite different in some features.  

In stream, you can share the text,photo,images,location with only your circle or with entire group of friends but in Facebook wall you don't have option of sharing only with your Circle.

With Sparks you will get the latest updates & news about the topic.Once you click on spark you will get several topics like Microsoft,Android,Google  etc & you can add them to your spark list and get the latest update in one click. In simple words you call this feature as RSS Feeds.
