Even if people wont move in droves to this, its still easier to get started with this because of circles and privacy features. For example, previously our tight nit group of college friends used to engage using email threads. Now hopefully we can move on to this.

Agreed, my group of friends organise stuff using email threads. Events (theatre, concerts etc.) are put in a Google Calendar for us all to see. It's really useful to e.g. keep track of people's travelling plans, birthdays and other such stuff. Unfortunately, Calendar does not have some desirable features such as seeing that an event is added, changed or deleted and by whom. I hope some of these features will be available in Google Plus.
