Now the handful of people who've been waiting on such a change to start using G+ can see be immediately disappointed with how half-assed it is. I say this as someone with what seems to be an above average engagement with and opinion of G+. Circles and communities are solid concepts that could work well, but the busted functionality for posting and commenting severely limits content and conversation. Nobody, not even Google puts effort into G+ profiles. It's just another target for dumping links and hopefully driving some clicks back to your actual site/community.
