I've got an invite and joined Google+ today. I like the way Google is trying to integrate the whole internet experience into one platform.

I'm quite sure Google+ is going to take over Facebook - like Facebook did to Myspace. If people did migrate to Google+ leaving Facebook behind who would take the spotlight after Google+? Google is such a giant, I consider it the home of the internet. Perhaps Google+ will draw it to a full stop.

I have signed up, but am underwhelmed with it so far.

The main advantage is that it has integrated the services of Facebook, Twitter and Skype and packaged it together along with everything else that Google offers; search, email, websites, etc.

I see. I don't normlly use my Gmail account, so this is nothing to attract me much.

Actually I am not sure integrating different databases is good for us. I never let FB access my Yahoo Mail, for instance, I don't want them spying on my email friends and subjects. It's very good for them for the commercial point-of-view (targeted ads, for instance), but not for me.
