Finally have a frigging Google+ account!
(Yeah, I know, I work for them, shouldn't have been hard--put it down to a combination of stubbornness and slightly misdirected principles.)
If anyone feels like adding me, please feel free, or if my name causes problems, ping me and I'll add you. I'm probably going to be shifting over in that direction away from LJ (partially company loyalty, partially I do find it shiny). And Facebook may get drop-kicked--I've never liked it, and if I can do without it I probably will.

In short, I'm not persuaded that Google+ is going to be any more secure than Facebook, so, I'd rather keep my presence on both of those platforms pretty light.

I'm not sure about how the +[username] feature works--I'll have to look into that. I've seen it used to bring people into a conversation, but I have no idea how it interacts with circles and privacy, and there are some obvious important questions there. Hmmm.

I have no idea what I'm going to use it for.

You were in my initial suggestion list, presumably because we're email contacts. You were easy :-}.

Cool; you're embarking on a voyage of discovery! (I appear to be in a punchy mood :-}).

If you drop me a line at myfirstname.mylastname@gmail.com, I'll encircle you. :)
Oddly, it never crossed my mind that Google+ would be a replacement for Livejournal. LJ still seems much better suited to long-format posting. The content here isn't squished into a narrow column, and there's no substitute for the threaded commenting.

But you're probably right about LJ; I haven't really started to engage with Google+ yet, so I haven't figured out what it's good for. And heck, maybe they'll add threaded comments at some point :-}.
