Does Google+ = Information Overload x Infinity?

What’s your take on Google+?

Having dipped a toe in recently, I’ve offered up invitations to others and am finding that people generally aren’t too excited about getting on the bandwagon. Is it too much information, finally?

I haven’t spent enough time on it yet to really get a feel for all the capabilities and unique features. I know, theoretically, the idea of circles could actually help us get some level of control over all the endless and constant information flowing in and out, but I just haven’t had the patience to deal with it.

In terms of SEO, it certainly has pumped up my name in Google searches. My Google+ profile is now in the number one slot when I Google my name. Great, but also a bit nerve-wracking since I haven’t done much with my profile yet.

I’m hesitant to pass any sort of judgment just yet. When I started my Twitter account, my first thought was similar to my thoughts about Google+: I don’t get it.

Of course, once I got it, it was a whole different story.

What’s your take? Any great examples of how Google+ is working for you? Or is it just adding to your information overload right now?
