I posted the same request. I run a Facebook page for a small special-interest community with a few hundred members. Members can meet each other, share relevant info, and there's some people with powers to moderate the inevitable borderline-commercial crap that pops up rarely. G+ doesn't have this.
Maybe Google Groups + G+ can have babies and make a superior opt-in, shared-community solution to Facebook pages.
The thing is, from Google's marketing perspective, this is also similar to LinkedIn and .. well .. it would just look way too much like "more of the same" for them to push it hard at launch. But the demand's clearly there, I think we'll see it added.
