'Start G+' Adds a Gmail inbox notifier, which you can disable.
Warnings are posted at the app store of what it can access.
You can disable Facebook and Twitter functions as well.
But those are the point of the extension.
It also can access Picasa Web and the developer for updates.
The Beta does not auto update though.

He keeps developing it, so I think it will be a good one, imo.
Personally I like to keep them separate-Google+ and Facebook.
I just tested it to see if it works and it still does.

There are dozens of articles on how to use Google+ for beginners. Finally, Mashable's Stephanie Buck takes it to the next level. She's interviewed some very serious "power users" about how they use Google+ circles for sourcing, learning, deeper interaction, filtering, personal memos, organizing, and preparing for the future. A well-written piece. Coming soon: Venn Diagram circles!

*I had already heard about creating a circle and adding only yourself to it to keep time-stamped notes with. Good idea!

G+me for Google Plus

via Softpedia:
[It's] a toolbar icon shows G+ notifications in real-time. This means that users don't need to be on Google-related tabs to see if there's anything new happening on G+. The notifications are now visible everywhere. However, the central feature of this extension is that its ability to collapse read posts while remembering their last state for future sessions. Additionally, if users want to keep the posts expanded but not see all the associated comments, G+me gives them the option to hide the comment stream. The collapsed comments bar will continue to show and update the comment number at the end and if a new one is posted, hovering the mouse pointer over the comment number will display a pop-up with the content. Similarly, hovering the mouse pointer over a collapsed post will display a fully-functional preview of its extended version. Users can also opt for list-mode view which keeps all posts collapsed by default and allows a single one to be extended at a time.

NOTE: This extension works best if you're trying to keep up with LOTS of people inside a circle. Otherwise, revise your circles.
