googles social network site. they are trying to take out face book i guess. its very young and basic at this point. also they have invites locked down so not many people on it makes it a bit quiet. I have no doubt when they open it up and expand on it a bit it will be a great.
the big thing they do on it is let you put people into circles ie "buckets" friends, family, work, fish people, ect and when you post something you pick what circles to share it with so that your family doesnt see all your shenanigans and you work doesnt fire you for partying on your "sick day" i suppose lol
also ties into your other google products so thats nice if your a big google user.

Ok I can't send out invites unless it's open. But I can share a post, it will email you, follow the link an you will get a page with a join button. You can hit the button to your hearts content an when it open it'll let you sign up vs telling you it's full.
I'll add you guys when I'm not on my phone. No iPhone app yet.

I dig the layout and the circles thing, brilliant! This will smash facebook. My biggest problem with FB is the fact I have to watch what I post due to family and work friends. I know I can add them to groups or whatever its called but honestly it a PIA. If the circles is as simple as drag and drop then facebook will fall like myspace. Google is smart, they are integrating everything and thats what people want, kinda scary at the same time..
Wait a minute...just checked out the sparks feature, now that is genius!!!!! Am I understanding it correctly. When you post something you give it a "keyword" or topic, called a "spark" and people can subscribe to your spark? So lets say I make a post about DJ'ing, everyone in that "spark" see's that post? Man that is so cool. So that stupid annoying "drama" persons "drama" posts (we all know you all have at least one friend like that airing their lifes laundry on FB lol) can be filtered out while you still see the relevant posts. Too cool!!
