The most noticeable changes are the design changes that are supposed to make the pages easier to navigate and organize. As mentioned previously, with the Facebook now owning Instagram, Google+ had to improve the way photos were streamed on their user's pages, again, another war with Facebook. But a new feature that is unlike Facebook is the new Explore page, which allows users to see what is really popular in the Google+ world, not just with your friends. True you could always just google trending topics or find those on Twitter, but I guess the Explore option is kind of cool.
But there is no denying that Google+ has something going on for them that Facebook does, and that is The Hangouts. Businesses and friends are using this feature pretty consistently and Google+ has received mostly positive feedback about The Hangouts.
Gundotra says that these changes are laying the groundwork for further improvement to Google+. So keep a look out for all these changes!
So here's to hoping that Google+ finally gets a break and succeeds one of these days. But lets just FACE it, FACEbook is taking over the internet, only a few competitors really stand a chance of being as popular.

I doubt I will ever use Google+, I just don't really see a use for it. It is cool in theory, but everyone (even my grandparents) is already on Facebook and I doubt they will be motivated to switch.
I'm not interested in Google+ and I don't know many people who are. I can't see older generations wanting an account or young adults.
Google+ just doesn't have the appeal of other social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
