I started using Google+ this week, and my first impressions are very favorable. Love the clean UI (especially the animations when adding friends to “Circles” - a much improved, steriod-infused version of Facebook’s Friend List feature) and the Picasa integration for photo albums. I’m also digging the fact that my stream isn’t polluted with Farmville nonsense. Though it could be because Google+ is a barren wasteland of early adopters at the moment, but here’s hoping.
