#2Nice to see a groups-like feature make it to Google+ at last.
One of the best features of G+ has always been communicating with people you don't know in person, and I think this will facilitate that more around common interests. I can also see this as being useful for groups of friends or family who always want to post content to each other.

#3Anyone know why the photo app (Snapseed) is only Android 4.0+?

#4The problem with this I feel and one of the advantages of Twitter is that if a certain company controls their community page (e.g. Audi USA) and I go to post some sort of customer service complaint, they have the option of removing it. With Twitter, I can just add a hashtag or @message them and it'd be visible globally with search.

Checking it out, I don't see anything in the app that seems to be dependent on 4.0+ features, though obviously things are easier if you can use the latest and greatest APIs.
I'm guessing that it was more of a support issue. Switching to 4.0+ drops the number of devices you have to support dramatically, and with that the headache of all of the obscure device users giving you 1 stars and angry emails.
The team I'm on is transitioning from 2.3+ to 4.0+ support for some technical reasons, but easier development and support is a huge bonus.

#7Did I really want this generations monopoly in on my social data as well?
If Search== Windows
and
Apps == Office
do I really want Google having access to my social data too?
A healthy skeptic, getting more and more paranoid....

#8Still nothing for Google Apps users.
I'm okay with that personally. The thing that bugs me is that it doesn't support multi-accounts yet. At work we use Google Apps, which I have signed in simultaneously with my personal Google account. I can pop between my personal and company GMails easily.
Whenever I click on a G+ link it insists on using my company account, telling me I can't get Google+, etc etc. There's no way to switch over to my personal account to actually use it :(

#9Early warning: I recently learned that some kids under 13 are adopting Google+. They all have gmail accounts, but their parents won't let them go on Facebook.
It's not really any different in terms of legality or functions, but parents understand (and often don't like) Facebook. So, most likely without the parents' knowledge, their kids are meeting up via Google+.

One temporary/hacky multiple account solution is to use multiple Chrome profiles (I think Firefox also has something similar). This way I have separate work and personal Gmails working smoothly, and using different themes for the profiles also means that I don't mistake the windows and send out something from the wrong email account.
