In the google plus demo thing, by default, you could autofill the ID with someone famous like Robert Scoble .. For people like me who are not active on G+ (thats pretty much everyone)
Actually, I'm finding it a bit hard to get the concept across quickly. That's why I added the try now functionality. Do you think a video is worthwhile?
I'm no UI designer but asking the user to scramble for his G+ ID just for a demo is probably not the best thing to do.
On the homepage, you could have a conveyor belt like imagery where twitter, facebook and G+ icons come out as a "qiip". Below that you could have buttons like "See example" and "Signup" etc etc.
You definitely should ask for permission, but Scoble would be a great example, as he actually "blogs" on G+. Many of his posts are quite long and seem like a good fit for this concept.
really like the idea, good job! would probably come quite useful for a number of my friends.
Home page is a bit confusing and empty though, takes a second to realize what it is. Also the preview of the list view (the first thing I've seen after inputting my userid) is a bit narrow, embedded youtube videos seem to jump out of the div but I guess it's not a massive problem ;)
Thanks for the feedback. Mentioned in the comments is having a couple of example users to try and get the concept across quicker.
I'm also opening up the site designs for anyone to make ( http://qiip.me/create ) as there are much better designers out there than me :) Do like a ThemeForest marketplace.
There was an article recently about how all the low end development/design will be done without developers/designers and only high end will need people. Tools like this seem to be propagating that idea.

In a user perspective, "Try Now" or the "See Demo" is the first button I press before reading anything.
I think you need to tweak a little bit of that workflow. Otherwise, great app!

Cool project, by the way.
Shoot him an email and ask. Probably he's gonna love it.
Integrate with facebook would be hard?
