Heck, I'm a pretty big fan of G+ and of just about ANY Google product, it just seems like WordPress does so many things, better.
With the new additions to the platform and with Stronger Ties to G+, will more people try giving this platform a real shot?
Since you can now tag people from Blogger, I wonder if some of these improvements are a sign of things to come. Will friends like +Chuck Reynolds or +Greg Taylor ever use the platform? Do you see small business owners with a presence here?
For my industry, I don't see a lot of tools or widgets for use here like we find on WP. I kind of like how you can add photos from Google but they seem to have to be located in the middle of the page and the size isn't easily changed? How do you even "tag" the photo?
As for a home search tool, I doubt we can really have nearly the customization as we do with other options. The widgets can probably be embedded in to the page but there doesn't appear to be custom side bars, custom pages etc.
Does Blogger have any SEO advantages or dis-advantages over other platforms? That kind of stuff is WAY over my head. When you hear of Google products, you just about have to assume there are some advantages. I'm just not sure the advantages outweigh the disadvantages...

Blooger is limited in what you can do with it. For this reason isn't as popular as wordpress. There a few benefits that even make it worthwhile.
Where blogger wins is that it is integrated with google accounts. My wife uses blogger, simply because she was already connected with a gmail account. I bet the authorship integration with blogger and Google+ is simple. Google probably indexes new posts in blogger fairly quickly.
Is there a reason to switch from WP to blogger? Not in my opinion. Is there a reason to have a blogger blog? Yes. You get links from a powerful root domain. I would bet that Chuck uses a blogger domain somewhere to push his content.
