Unfortunately, Google + is just like facebook, the content is limited to the users who create it. IE not very creative overall. Everything is very specific. Blue or Gold, not both, sorry navy. TV or Movie not both, movie sponsored by a movie site meaning every post is a specific movie with no post relating to movies overall… lame.

Reading the article, Google+ communities doesn’t sound as useful as it really is.

In truth, it’s a wonderful addition to the social network. I don’t have to look for circles on spreadsheets or word-of-mouth anymore, for one. And when you actually use it, you realize it kind of acts like a very simple forum system within the Google+ interface. It’s really, really cool.

Awesome. Google+ communities makes Google+ follow the 2^n network value trend calculated for self-organizing, “many-to-many” type networks like Reddit.

Of course, Google+ was already a self-organizing entity, but Google+ communities makes that process intuitive and makes a whole lot of sense for an interest-centered social network like Google+.
