Tried it - they are unbundling social. It's group sharing as simple as starting a Google doc. You open a new one and add them by email or FB invite. A lot of people have gotten disgruntled with FB due to unclear privacy and people who aren't using FB yet, so this might work better.
I may try it for sharing stuff with close family - stuff I wouldn't share on facebook because the context is too personal. Finding myself emailing and texting people in too many environments lately, if they can keep my stuff private (and I don't mean get ads for furniture if I share a funny video about ikea private), it might work.
- dave2000 10y agoGlad you described it because I wasn't making any sense out of that blog. Won't be using it because it's not a core part of Google and so at a high risk of being cancelled. Also noone else is using it (yeah yeah, I know, but that's not my problem) and i don't do unpaid Google evangelism.
- dzink 10y agoIt came out a blink ago and their landing page doesn't even work (the button to get started wasn't clickable for me on Chrome, another google product). I managed to see the product by somehow finding an internal link to it. Reserving judgement till after I've seen its use by non-techie friends. Not even close to being a google advocate, but Facebook is riding the coat-tails of network effects and I'm betting money and time that they won't be the last social network there is. All experiments in the space are interesting to me till the underlying problem's solved.
