Here are a few things I like: * Clean and simple. I have always hated the cluttered FB interface with tiny fonts. G+ fonts are much more readable. * Notifications - absolutely lovely. I like that I can reply right there on the top bar. With the Chrome extension, it's even better. * I liked the Buzz way of sharing, and G+ brings this to twitter. Perfect. * Hangout. hangout. hangout. :) Things I dislike: * Photos page. absolutely awful UI. feels like Picasa in an iFrame. somebody at Google please ask them to redesign it. Things I'd like to see: * By default the stream should open with a circle of my choice * Cross-posting to twitter (until everyone from twitter moves here) * Integrate feeds from flickr. * Highlight circles on the sidebar that have an updated stream content (much like auto-archive + labels in gmail) ~ashwin
