Isn't your Google+ account really just your Gmail account?
I suppose it is but, when I go to Youtube I am forced to comment under Bob Howe not my youtube escobarbert account. this is very annoying. I don't use google for anything except email. And, I don't want/need my real name being used in youtube comments and videos.
