I don't understand. We can do that on Facebook already. In fact, I already do that... I have friend lists, and different people see different statuses depending on context.
I don't see the problem Google is trying to solve. I'd be happy to be enlightened though.

- ern 16y agoI also use Facebook friend lists, and I often post things to my status that are restricted to close friends only. I also restrict Facebook chat using friend groups. The problem is that these friends have no way of knowing that they are the only ones in on the conversation so they feel constrained. Also, most people I know don't bother to segment their friends. I also group people on Twitter into lists, in the hope that the lists will become useful someday.
