One thing I would really like is email notification of new posts, even if they don't specifically mention you. Since there is no G+ app for Windows Phone and their mobile website sucks, it'd be nice if I could set a couple people to be an "always notify", where whatever they post that I am able to see, it emails or texts me to let me know.

Right now the only way I see to do that would be to have them specifically mention me in the post.

The volume controls for circles are a great idea. I prefer this to the algorithmic approach taken by Facebook.

It's a pitty that pseudonymns are still not mentioned here though. NSFW controls would be nice too (as opposed to the blanket ban on NSFW content in place at present).

I have to change the volume for each user?

I begged for Stream-tuning from the beginning. I've never used Facebook, so I have no basis for comparison, but I really expected to be able to do this from the start.

I might have missed it, but I cannot believe they haven't implemented "nicknames"/pseudonymes yet. I thought they had promised it a while ago. How long till we see it?

I'm usually not the paranoid 'Google-has-all-your-data-be-afraid-of-your-data-on-the-Internet' type. But nicknames would be cool. There's so much more to "me" than my Google+ profile, thank you very much.

Each circle.
