I'm loving circles. 3 weeks ago I culled my friend list on FB down to 3 people (fellow page admins) and stopped using it for anything other than marketing at people.
I left for 2 reasons. First I couldn't manage the lists without a lot of pain. They have implemented lists and selective posting grudgingly, and obfuscated it out of the reach of most users.
Secondly, after 3 years of my handing them huge swathes of personal data they still fail to effectively advertise anything to me that I'm remotely interested in. I get that the price of a 'free' service is my personal data, I'm fine with that, I'd just like it to be used in a manner that's actually relevant to me.
As g+ stands, still in inimitable Google beta mode, has hit the nail almost entirely on the head for what I want a social network to do, and I can rest assured that when the advertising finally turns up it might be for something I'm interested in.
So here's to this staying only as a hack, FB not catching up, and to talking everyone I know onto g+ :)
