Really? I think FB is pretty bad but Google hasn't done social particularly well so far... - Spidra Webster

I think they thought of this one better. Buzz and Wave? Not so much. - AJ Batac (/-_-)

Let's hope so. - Spidra Webster

Google sucks - ؛ patrick

See? I said that and 30 seconds later I am still alive - LOL - ؛ patrick

I would love a invite. Circles is a good idea, I just wonder how it is implemented. Can I see when that I am in your "PITA" circle or can someone see when I put them in the "BAT SHIT CRAZY" circle? I wonder if they added any of the cool features from WAVE to this? I also wonder what will happen with Buzz when/if this starts to grow? - Me

Circles is the key for me. I want to try it before I make any judgements. WHERE'S MY INVITE!!!?!?!? - AJ Kohn

Are they going to do circles better than Facebook does friend groups? I spent a whole day creating friend groups on Facebook to control sharing, and I never use them. I just share everything with everyone. - Jandy

WHAT - Josh Haley

Just watched the tour. Wow. That does look very cool. With realtime integration into mobile (hopefully they don't leave iOS hanging) this could be very cool. But FB will still be there for all of your past girlfriends and enemies to find you. - Josh Haley

I definitely use friend groups in Facebook, which is why most of you have never seen all of my Cafe World and Gardens of Time updates, or my detailed biometric industry comments. (Comments on new nieces are publicly visible.) For me, it's premature to leave Facebook, though. - John E. Bredehoft

google news = "Emerald Sea" project - unknown factiod :)- - Peter Dawson

Maybe I just need to learn to use them better, John. I've never figured out how to get automatically posted updates to post to specific groups - can you do that? Like if I'm posting from Hootsuite, or with Raptr or Foursquare. - Jandy

The "Sparks" product has me really intrigued. I put in my interests and it spits back content ranked by how viral it is across the web? Yes, please! - Nathan Chase

Just for the record, I "Liked" this just to keep track of it, not because I'm excited to try it. Google already fooled me twice. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

I'm in. Who needs an invite? (only if we're already friends here, BTW) - Nathan Chase
