Hard to categorize a tool as useful if it has social network effects (needs critical mass).
Note that by signing up you're giving up the profile association willingly into their database.
Not so great - Seems to require your Twitter followers to associate their Google account on Migrat.us before it's of any use.
Yeah, and people can already link to their twitter from their profile page. So this shouldn't be needed, a simple crawler should be sufficient.
It relies on people you follow having used http://gplus.to to create a Google+ name that matches their Twitter name.
Currently it finds about 20% of the people you follow.
As much as I'd prefer to consolidate to using Google+, Google+ is not a replacement for Twitter for me. I would like to be able to post publicly based on broad topics like #programming so that all of my friends and family that have no clue what technobabble I am rambling about would not have to see it in their feed. I created a programming circle, but that does not make my posts public if I post to that circle. As fa…

How large of a problem do you think this is?
Though, I still think that an non-perfect tool as described above would bring much more value than what migrat.us brings with its 500~ users.
