I think it's pretty interesting so far.. It also fills up my inbox with emails, so it's like opening a present every day.

I still prefer my Facebook right now, but I'm definitely having fun with G+.

It is neat, and i like the circles idea, so over all i like it so far.

Maybe I haven't played with it enough, but besides the video chat & circles, are there any other things that it has that FB doesn't?

[Omega3w]

I use it almost as much as I use facebook right now because I like it better. The privacy options are waaaay more legit on G+ than they are on facebook. Also, the only reason I'm still on facebook is because it takes time to transition from one social network to another.

I'm actually kind of fond of g+. I agree that the circles are much nicer to work with but as it is still in beta there are some issues that need to be worked out (ie. I wouldn't recommend signing on to g+ from a computer not your own, as it doesn't fully sign out and the next person who signs on will be show up as you even though you logged out and they had to sign in), and so I wouldn't move my whole social life there just yet... My other concern is that google is so0o much part of the internet that I worry about what is really private or not. Be ware if you post publicly they will put your post in the search engine. love/love

I like it, not using it too much right now but I am slowly building my circles so when I do, I am all set!

I have an invite, but have not activated it yet.
What special benefit is there to it over facebook?
As for the Security, I doubt it will be solid for long. Google is in the business of information primarily and yours will be availible soon. Also, this will just give them a awyt to tie their smartphones to it to create a solid social environment.

The main difference between the two is that Google+ has the concept of circles. You assign your friends to one of more of these circles and then when you post an update you can decide which circles get to see it, so you have better privacy control.

Also the model of adding people is different, it's more like twitter, you can add anyone you want and you will see whichever of their posts is accessible to you and vice versa.
