Well yes, they'd have to do the Google Plus Circles sort of thing where your different friends are placed into different groups, so you can keep your Professional and Personal facebook separate-but-linked.
And yeah, Twitter is the water-cooler/street-corner, it conflates the professional and the personal in its culture.

- skinkestek 7y agoNo. The reason for that was that Google is Google and in Google the only thing that matters is launching new things[0] and keeping gmail/gsuite[1] and the ads[2] running. You might think I'm exaggerating, but frankly, even the search product has seen a massive decline since 2009. [0]: based on testimonials from googlers and xooglers here on HN.

- ghaff 7y agoIn all fairness, Google+ failed for a lot of reasons--starting with the "Google" part. But Circles was actually a pretty nice concept that I wish Facebook had to separate my friend friends from people who are more like professional acquaintances.
