While the funny GIFs continue in week 3, I find more and more people using this to paste their blog articles- so another channel to create and spread content.
I am waiting for certain features-
Importing my Orkut data seamlessly into Google Plus
The Gaming Channel using Zynga- Open Social Games
Hangout to have screen sharing as well as screen recording (or export to Youtube features)
Better integration of Sparks based activity.
Also if existing Youtube comments/fan communities can utilize G+ accounts too

Map Maker’s review process allows users to easily edit content, while ensuring that data quality remains intact.
The first time a Map Maker user makes edits to a map, the edits may require review and approval before the edits will be published. Once a Map Maker user has made a few approved edits, most of the subsequent edits will go live automatically. However, some types of edits or edits in specific regions will always require review, regardless of how experienced the mapper is. In addition, some edits may require multiple reviews before the edits appear on Google Maps.
Why do edits need to be reviewed?
There are several reasons why edits are sent for review:
To provide feedback to new editors, and to help them understand the mapping process.
