This.
I don't get it. Google already has usernames - why not use them?

Antispam measure. They're trying to make it harder to figure out a user's email address.
You can use http://gplus.to to make a shortname though.

Also, just came across this post https://plus.google.com/111379026657101157995/posts/Sirk5KSb... though those recommendations are mostly tech industry and blogger types not really hackers.
Re: Hackers to follow on G+?
#27I have a better question. How many of these people are actually posting? It feels a little pointless to follow a bunch of people who have no public posts.
I've gone through all the links in this thread (at the time of writing) and included only those where I can see posts (i.e more than just uploading a profile photo). I've simply copy/pasted the links from the original submitters into this post. Hope it's useful. (edit: I also put them all in a spreadsheet which anyone can edit http://bit.ly/nBqc8e)

Re: Hackers to follow on G+?
#30So, how are these hackers sharing their technical insights on G+ without bothering their real-life friends and family?
That's right, they aren't.
Unless you manually add all your followers to a 'followers' circle and share to that (and subsequently pollute your default stream with your followers' posts) there's currently no way on G+ to keep your technical public persona apart from your more personal, private one.
