This is a great feature. Think of it as a way to quickly broadcast to your friends or to the world.
Your children doing something cute? Broadcast to Family.
An amazing sunset? Broadcast to your circles.
On the scene of something newsworthy, broadcast to the world. (Well, 10 people in the world until you can start an On Air hangout from mobile... +Justin Uberti ?)

Hangouts can now be started from Android (and better integration with the platform overall).

Hmm, so it might be worth reinstalling the Android app to play with hangouts, now that I finally have a phone with a front facing camera, even though the app is now useless for reading plus itself... Other than a common "phonebook", do hangouts really have anything to do with plus anyway? It's never really fit, to me...
