- I miss Vox a lot. Haven't participated like that since it's demise. I'm hopeful this will have some of the same "connective tissue" that Vox so effortlessly had - at least the first few years. I haven't had time this week to play with G+ enough however to give any real deep insights, but here's a few off the top of my head.
- Mobile posting is essential. And not just for people with Android phones. Is there a way to do that now that I'm missing? I'd be posting more if that was there.
- LOVE that I can make as many Circles as I want. I always wanted that on Vox. And that I can view the streams from each Circle selectively. Would like to be able to set a default view for Home stream.
- Love that Circles for privacy and "Groups" for selective posting are the same thing on G+. Vox never worked for Groups very well. I think that's one of the reasons it never grew -- one among many reasons that didn't have anything to do with the product itself.
- Can't wait to try G+ out when more of my friends and family outside of the Bay Area get on it. That will be the real test. Will everyday regular people use it like they do Facebook, or will it stay a playground of only the cool insider kids?
--If there was a Google+ button on articles I'm reading all over the web like the Twitter and FB Like buttons, I'd be using it. Haven't seen it yet. I'm assuming that will happen as adoption grows and publishers start requesting it.
--Would also like to see some (not a ton) of personalization via templated design elements and text formatting (like bullets, bold or italics on this comment for example.)
As you know Paul, I was in love with Vox and used it regularly, brining many many people into the fold back in the day. If you can capture some of the Vox magic and expand on what we learned from that wonderful, but neglected platform, I'm going to be giddy.

That's all for now...
