I'm glad this has created a bit of discussion surrounding the possibility of using G+ as a primary blogging platform. I put together minimali.se over a couple of nights just as a concept, but many people seem quite drawn to the idea.

Personally I don't believe by itself Google+ offers enough to totally forfeit your current blog, but what it does do it does well. An implementation like this allows you to have the best of both worlds. I'm hoping in time the API will allow writes (in the form of comments at least) to make it possible to comment from external sources (like a blog), yet keep the actual engagement in one place.
