In reply to Greg Hyer. The only benefit would be referral traffic. As Mark pointed out, no PR.

In reply to Greg Hyer. If by "SEO benefit" you mean that links from it pass ranking authority, then, no. The links are all no-followed (as they are on Pinterest, so not sure what you mean for that either).

Mark, have you noticed any SEO benefit to Google+ Collections like that of Pinterest? Collections seems like an untapped opportunity. Any insights?

I wonder if we’ll see a boomerang affect. Whereby the collections or posts make it into local search.

Hi Mark!
I enjoyed reading your post and this is my first time I learned about Google Plus. You managed to describe all the features of the Google + so I can easily discuss this information with others. Perhaps, our life is built on such a principle: despite of the fact the Google Plus is Google’s new social network, all the people still hesitate to start using it because they already have a Facebook account. But there was a time when people learned and faced with a Facebook. It is worth thinking about it.

In reply to Sendy. Sendy, you asked why Google needed to do Google+. Initially the vision was to try to get everyone to create personal and brand profiles, and they hoped, to engage with others via them. That would give Google access to the kind of information that only Facebook has now at any massive scale. Today I think the goals are humbler. I can't know what they all are, but I think one might be that Google+ is a good playground and testing platform for their developing artificial intelligence capabilities.
