Google+ Is it the answer to Facebook?

So far I'm not finding that anyone else's name shows up when I hover over the icon. But apparently there are other uses (see below).

However, it seems to only list +1 on other sites than Google+, so you can't use it to find comments or posts there that you've liked.

Thanks, Alex, that's exactly what I was looking for. It's also interesting to click on Learn More on the +1 page. It looks like Google will use +1's to further "personalize" your search. Sites where people in your circles have added a +1 will probably show up higher on the list of results. That's my interpretation anyway.
