One big missing feature for me is the wall post from Facebook or the @at message from Twitter. I didn't realize at first how much I use the 'open direct message' features on these other networks until I started messing around with G+.

I have no experience with how Facebook does it, but I find myself sharing a lot of things with just a single user on G+. Then we discuss it.

you start your word with + and you will get a autocomplete that works like @ at twitter ;-) Also hashtags are now supported.

It also works by using an '@' and typing a friend's name. So, just like twitter and just like the GP is wishing it would.

G+ will change the '@' into a '+' when you commit the post or comment.

You can share directly with one user on G+, either privately (just make them the only person you share with) or publicly (share with them, plus the "public" circle.) Either way, they'll receive a notification message that you've shared something with them, and it will also show up in their stream. It's a lot easier than, say, Twitter DMs, where they're a totally out-of-band message.
