Ok so i might be a wee bit late with this one (it happened the 11th) but it took a while for something to happen on my google plus account for me to go there.
They did a pretty severe UI update, i must admit i quite like what they are going for, especially that you can customize it.
It's a nice update and I use the service with a few of my close friends. All the whitespace is a bit odd on large monitors but they say they are going to fill that with something coming soon. I especially like the customisable bar on the left so you can have whatever you use most up there and hide the games section that no one uses,
Edit: On a side note, I like the song on the video quite a lot and ended up buying the rest of the album which is also quite good.
My biggest complaint is that now Google is showing me "hot" posts on G+. Posts by people I've never heard of / don't care about. There could be a way to turn that off, but I don't know that I care enough about G+ to figure it out. At that point, it'll just go back to being nothing but Gary and Patrick again.

Actually i have found that to be quite interesting, It does not happen that often but i guess it is a bit more noticeable when you are not circleing (?) with a lot of people.
@RustySpoon: If you want to turn the what's hot off click on 'explore' on the left tab. Then you should see a slider where you can chose how much outside stuff is displayed on your front page. Just slide all the way to the left to turn it off.

Haven't been to my google+ page in months. Just checked it out. Really like the update. Still doubt I'll ever use it.

I'm more excited that the video uses a Kina Grannis song.
