I host my photos with Zenfolio and they have just implemented a +1 system which enables me to post images to G+ direct from my Zenfolio galleries.
There's a lots of benefits for me for posting images this way. Firstly it means it is easier for me to post; it means I keep all my photos in one place; it means that the full gallery of images from the shoot is automatically linked to the post.
The main down side that I can see are that, the image that appears in my G+ stream is only a small thumbnail (as you can see) and not the larger images that you get if you upload the image direct to G+
The only other downside is that the image doesn't appear in the G+ gallery of images when you look at look at your contacts photographs.
So what do you think, folks? How would you prefer to see my images presented on G+? Like this? or as I have been doing posted directly to G+

Ian, I'm split on this one as love the size of photo's on G+ and being able to quick flick through the related gallery, but I also keep all my full size photo's on SmugMug. I've ended up maintaining both, but made easier by using the publish services in Lightroom to do the uploading for me to multiple sites.

Bill, +Jeffrey Friedl does a picasa plugin that uploads to your albums in G+, but unfortunately it doesn't then publish to your G+ stream, so you have to re-share. Good if your doing bulk uploads and don't want them all in your stream, bad if you want to share one photo, but for my purposes it keeps my publishing workstream as minimal as possible. There is also a Zenfolio plugin as well :)
