Hangouts with Silicon Valley figures won't do anything to drum up interest in G+ except as a novelty among those that already know about it but don't use it. Google should take the biggest stars of whoever wins the NBA Championship next month and do a hangout with them. Or have the stars of twilight/hunger games/{generic blockbuster} and do hangouts as part of their press junkets. Google may end up with a bunch of incredibly insipid hangouts but that's about 90% of "social" anyway.
