Google +1 is being touted as the next big social thing.
Trouble is it seems to me it's going to be just another aggregator of mass - just as Twitter Trends.
I'm waiting for a response to the actual niche peer-to-peer group-forming needs of a network (of the kind that would be delivered by Trends among Friends)
I've yet to trial the product myself - and welcome corrections and comments from those who have - but unless it allows me to share relevant recommendations with relevant people I can't see how it's much different from digg (bar scale).
In short, I want to see what my peers +1, not everyone. And our poorly maintained Google profiles don't seem to me sufficiently rich to make that vital connection.
The focus on publishers may be the give away: less social, more mass for the broadcast internet.
