I signed up to try and get one, but nothing so far. It sounds intriguing at least. At least far more so than Buzz.

Impression from their own marketing material - Seems to me like it muddies the waters by identifying you by your "Google Account" which you may or may not already have or care about. Or maybe you have several. Rather than just approaching it as an independent site asking for whatever e-mail you care to provide and granting you a brand new account. Could be wrong. Also doubt the whole "circles" thing. People are narcissists, they want to talk to the whole group and be able to excuse it as just being part of the program. Let them select certain groups and it suddenly becomes e-mail distribution lists.

I'll give it a chance. I just think that trying to decide how to group and classify people will end up being another layer of complication. Could feel different after using, though. I'm rooting for it to be good. |

I had my identity stolen two months ago. Had a service to alert to me and nothing happened and they caught the guys two days later. Privacy on the internet is an illusion. Anyone can find out anything about anyone if they want to spend a couple of hours and if needed about $75.00. All you can hope for is to make it more difficult. But then again my parents arn't on Facebook.

Every business in America that hires anyone above entry level is checking out the Linked in, facebook, twitter pages of prespective employees. If there are gaps or a "sense" to hide parts of your life it could be seen as a red flag. I don't think most people realize how fast the loss of privacy came about and how fast the average business in America figured that out.

I loathe facebook for the very reason that I now avoid cameras. Every time my picture is taken, I know the whole world will see me and what I was doing then.
I like the idea of the circles. You can create a circle of "the float trip we just went on" or "chiefs game" or just "close friends", that doesnt include your parents, for instance, or your pastor or something. Just sounds a little more personal. It's on the right track. |

No. You can create groups of your "friends" in the same way circles works and disallow viewing of certain aspects of your information (photos, wall posts, tags, etc) for certain groups. It's not very intuitive in the way it works, but it does work. Once you create groups, then when you add a friend it gives you the option to add that fried to a group.
