I've been on G+ now since Monday, and the more I use it the more impressed I am with it. The conversations on here have been a lot more meaningful than some of the inane chattering on FB. I've found it much quicker to make contact with people who are relevant to me and my business. Ok there's a lot of folks who aren't on here yet, but already I have 79 people in my circles – 73 of whom are photographers and thanks to a little list I created… (https://plus.google.com/106287665062204946341/posts/AhGMwXm7iP6) 50 of the photographers are in the UK. As a studio owner they form a very valuable contact base that helps me keep my finger on the pulse of what is happening in photography in the UK and are also potentially clients and users of the studio.

UK PHOTOGRAPHERS LIST
In the absence of shared circles I'm creating a list of UK Photographers so that we can find each other and add each other…
Google+: Reshared 1 times
Like you, i'm quite enjoying the experience. It certainly has a different feel from facebook, and i'm really looking forward to seeing what google do for business pages in the future. There are a few features i'd really like to see (nested circles, for example – or the ability to say "Share with this circle except *him*". But i'm liking the twitter-esque networking feel of the whole thing.
Yes nested circles would be fantastic I have "Photographers", "UK Photographers" and "Local Photographers" – it would be nice if everyone who was in "Local Photographers" was automagically in bother of the other two!
I am enjoying it very much as well the ability to have sub and shared circles would help alot I am trying to get a list of London Photographers as well. Thanks for this list.
yep count me as a G+ man. It's made me realise just how much I dislike arsebook. Nest circle would a great feature. I'm wondering if G+ will first get populated by professionals, ie photographers, model creative types.
I'll give it a month before I hit that delete button on Facebook.
+Mark Boadey Hey, don't delete facebook just yet – how am I meant to fill up your inbox with invites to events at may studio without it! ;-)
