Meh. Like any other update on YouTube this is something that you just learn to deal with over time. Though this is taking noticeably longer to get used to. I made my page, linked it, filled it out and everything seems to be working okay (except for the retarded spam check thing).

I can see the potential use for having a social network tied in directly with a commenting system (how many websites use Facebook as a commenting system?) and Google probably has a good vision on the matter. But as a websites Google+ is just horribly designed. I've tried a couple of times to figure out how that place works and I just can't figure it out.

Facebook is straight forward. You go to the site and you see recent posts. On Google+ I see 3 different columns with random info on I don't know what the hell.

I think the only thing this will do is create a whole lot of new pages on Google+ that are never going to be used for more than commenting on videos. As a YouTube creator I really want to figure out how to use my page to increase my viewership, but currently it's such a big mess that I just can't be bothered, really.

Competition would be nice, but unless someone has about a billion dollars to build a data center, fill it with hardware and start selling ads on a scale like Google, I think they pretty much have a monopoly on this. Unless... you know... Bing Video... *Shudder*.
