    The more stuff you have in your Google+ account though, the more of a headache it could be. For anyone heavily invested in Google+, it might be a tough proposition to lose the content (e.g. posts, comments/replies). And then you may have to get things in order with YouTube, Picasa etc.. afterward once you get it set up.

I have three google addresses with some forwarding setup so they all go to one place. But if I use YouTube I need to switch accounts and then switch back to check email. fml
