I work for Google, so feel free to discount this as highly-biased raving. Having said that, Google+ is really pretty nice for a photographer:
1. The presentation of the photos is pretty good compared to anything else with "social" in the name 2. There are a lot of really good photographers already there, so you can arrange to have your stream filled with great shots every time you check in. 3. There's this "hangout" thing, essentially a glorified videoconference, up to 10 ways, and you can screen-share. Got into one of those led by Mike Spinak (author of the amusing 10,775-word rant against the "Golden ratio" at http://naturography.com/the-golden-section-hypothesis-a-critical-look/) and in that hangout, people were screen-sharing so we could all look at pix together and argue about composition and lighting and so on 4. The interface for uploading your pictures seems to pretty well just work Check some of the links here out: http://goo.gl/7mSu5 Here are my albums: https://plus.google.com/photos/107606703558161507946/albums People here might be amused by the ones prefixed by "Backgrounds:" This is a total of a couple hundred pix designed for use as wallpapers on your mobile device. For pix I care about seriously, I still use my own blog space. But G+ sure makes it awfully easy. Biased raving over.
