Absolutely, it’s all about priorities too – most SMEs don’t have unlimited resources to take on more social media work (I’m sure you relate!!), and at present we don’t think G+ justifies the investment relative to other social media sites.
As you say, though, the influence is theirs to lose, so we’ll have to see.

Purely based on Googles strength in the search market I feel this can’t be ignored for business who have any thoughts of SEO.

But despite numerous invitations being made available to people, active transition from facebook & twitter has been slow. There is a distinct difference between numbers of users and those actually using it.

Regular posts are how-to-guides on using google+ and until this gravitates to wider topics it will be nothing more than the latest IT geeks plaything! Your suggestion for a watching brief is spot on.
