Facebook is reportedly testing a new design of its photo viewer, and guess what. It looks almost exactly like the one found in Google+.

This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen Facebook add features that look suspiciously like Google+ features, but that’s ok. Google+ obviously borrowed a significant amount from Facebook as it launched in the first place. For that matter, rivals Facebook, Google+ and Twitter seem to be all getting more and more like one another as time goes on. Facebook even named Google and Twitter (and Microsoft) as major rivals as it filed for its IPO.
