Google+ VP of Product Bradley Horowitz has been tweeting about a new Suggested Users feature on Google+. It appears that some users are already seeing the feature. Heavy Google+ user Robert Scoble writes, “Google+ has ALREADY TURNED ON THE SUGGESTED USER LIST. Sign in as a new user and you’ll see the new suggested users list. My look at this list? It’s of active people. Looks a little algorithmic and a little human chosen.”
“It’s an improvement over previous suggestions,” he says. “At least it’s not suggesting users who don’t put anything into Google+.”

The feature should be helpful for users to continue to find new reasons to keep using Google+. The content of interest, the more reasons.
