Thanks to my friend Iz, I now have a Google+ account.
Basically G+ is Google's social networking site. It is in early alpha so far. It has Circles for your friends, Sparks (stuff you follow that look suspiciously like a RSS feed of Google search results), a Stream for pics and status-type updates and up-voting.
Plusses: G+ is currently ad-free. I do not expect that to last because there is a lot of white space on the pages where Google will eventually no doubt toss targeted ads at you.
Minuses: No iPhone mobile app right now (there is one for android, naturally). No games or much in the way of eye candy. The sharing UI really needs work.
If you read this and want in, I have invites. Just leave a comment to get one.
