What are you actually "showing"? I don't see anything except for a signup form. No content, no explanation, nothing. Also, you've mispelled your domain name in your submission title.

  Thanks for catching that error for me. HN doesn't allow text with a url submission and i was limited to 80 characters in the title. It'll currently just show you a landing page. I needed to get something out while I work on the concept. This is a response from the following article: http://networkeffect.allthingsd.com/20110313/false-alarm-google-circles-not-coming-now-and-probably-not-ever/ http://networkeffect.allthingsd.com/20110313/false-alarm-goo.... Sorry for the teaser (i hate them myself) but a good friend of mine insisted that I build and push a landing page out as soon as possible.

    If it works, fantastic but I'm really curious if people would submit their email address for something they have absolutely no idea about.

      Very true but I'm currently taking the fork.ly "launching soon" approach (http://blog.forkly.com/post/2341870004/a-viral-launching-soon-form http://blog.forkly.com/post/2341870004/a-viral-launching-soo...). This is dry testing at best.

I really do believe in this idea and i think social network sites should be designing for multiple groups. Managing your identity shouldn't be a high overhead. The logo is a work in progress and I'll be working away the next month deploying this application. Edit: Feel free to submit bugs at circleriot@gmail.com :)

So, is this just going to be a new social network? Is the idea of circles any different from, say, Diaspora's aspects?

I went to look and I don't have a clue what's going on at that site, which means I don't want to sign up. I don't know what Google isn't interested in and what you "might as well" try. "Might as well" doesn't make it sound like you're all that determined to make it worth my time, either.
