I agree with most of your observations and I think that Hangout is a wonderful tool and it works great.

The comment about blog posts is interesting because I feel like if Google+ had something like Facebook notes than i can imagine people using them more like blog posts.

I agree with most of the points, except the bit about blogging. I would be willing to blog and read blogs in the same feed as everything else.

What would really make Google+ unique though is if one could setup "channels". They would be like "circles" but work the other way round.

For example, I could create channels for each of my interests: "programming", "astronomy", "music". And people could subscribe to some or all of my channels.

So, those friends of mine who are not interested in "programming" wouldn't subscribe to that channel, and will not be able to see geeky gibberish from me.

Currently, with Twitter, Facebook and Google+, they have to listen to everything I say in my public stream.
