Hi Jo Anne, G+ is cool in that you can set up different circles of people and then post to one, a few or all of them. You can have a brin-l circle and use it kind of like the email list since, at the click of a button you can view just the brin-l (or family or friend etc) posts.
There are a few other differences from FB, but I haven't experimented with any of them yet.
