EDIT: Here's a quick *cough* novel-length *cough* description of what I've found out about Google Plus since I started using it.
It's got all the best features of Twitter and Facebook smashed together. It's like a huge content engine that is slowly starting to integrate all the great google stuff (docs, gmail, search, news, reader, etc.) into one place, with a social network framework around all of it.
You can have all your friends, just like on facebook, but you can also follow people who post cool and interesting things, like on twitter. Privacy is key here, because with G+'s circles you can make sure that only the people that you want to see something actually see it, while at the same time having hundreds or even thousands of "friends" that post things for you to see.
I'm absolutely LOVING it so far. It's much better than facebook has ever thought of being for me, since it's not just my boring Aunts and uncles, and a few people I knew from highschool and uni. It's those people, plus tech bloggers and fantasy writers and readers and game designers, and folks who like to talk movies and tv shows and all the other stuff I'm into.
Yeah, sorry that's so long, but it's the best way I can explain it.
If you're on G+, I'd love to be able to follow you. It would be nice to have some folks that I know and trust in there. It also helps that many of you are voracious readers, and will likely review or comment or complain about books (exactly what I want in my feed).
So, you can find me here:
