The question nobody is asking, but actually should is: I wonder what other good G+ content you are missing?

G+ is largely misunderstood. It is a lousy tool for interaction with people connected to you purely socially. It's a very good way to find and interact with people connected to you by interest.

The really sad thing is that I have tried several times to search for content that I know exists on G+, but I can't find it, even when I knew the author. After the third time failing at this my usage of G+ dropped significantly. Of all of the things that you would think would work search would be at the top... :|

Right, if I could subscribe to a Circle with all of the kernel devs in it I would.

G+ is actually a great place to read long form messages and comments, but doesn't really have content discovery down.

This is exactly how I explain Google+ to folks. It's built for communities, not cliques.
