It looks surprisingly advanced, from a screenshot perspective - more than I admit I would have given them credit for.
Is there additional insight into what "aspects" are, though? It confuses me - will it confuse an ordinary user?
- happybuy 16y agoI'm guessing they should have just called aspects "groups". From what I can tell, they are just groups of users which you can publish particular content/updates to.
- eavc 16y agoWould that be confusing to use that terminology since groups was recently a staple of facebook with a very different meaning?
- lindsaypea 16y agoAgreed. "Groups" or "Circles".
- Dunbar 16y agoI think they are supposed to represent 'aspects' of your life.
- EGreg 16y agomaybe they're streams

- pkulak 16y agoWhen you make a new account you get "home" and "work" aspects, which you can add people to individually. That actually goes a long way to making it clear.
- Raphael 16y agoPerhaps friend lists
- SeUsher 16y agoAnd perhaps the initial aspect names and all other strings should not be hard coded in English into the product. Yes, it is pre-alpha, but it will be a pain later to replace all strings with the #t helper and keywords.
- jimbokun 16y ago"Is there additional insight into what "aspects" are, though? It confuses me - will it confuse an ordinary user?" This is a pet peeve of mine, using extremely generic words to describe an important part of what you are working on. "Object Oriented Programming" got away with it, but that is aimed squarely at developers. I don't think you want words like "aspect" in front of actual users. I've noticed this a lot in academic research, also. I lost track of how many different ways I saw the word "feature" overloaded in different fields.
