Suddenly google circles don't seem so silly after all.
- kristianc 7y agoThe basic idea of Google Circles - that we have small circles that we share content and engage with, was basically sound. Google+'s misstep was to overlay a clumsy UI and load a lot of the work of setting up and maintaining those circles on the user. Neither do a lot of users have the clean line between "Close Friend", "Friend" and "Acquaintance" clear in their head.
- bmm6o 7y agoNo, that was the one thing G+ got right. It just wasn't good enough to make up for the other deficiencies.
