I think it's wrong for the author to compare the functionality of G+ circles with Facebook's group feature, as the two are not the same. Circles are more directly comparable with Facebook's "lists" feature, which can also be said to have a high amount of work (significantly more than G+'s circles, in my opinion) for a low amount of "return".
- garry 15y agoNobody uses Facebook lists. That's the main reason I didn't bother mentioning it.
- seabee 15y agoPerhaps your next post should argue that Facebook's one-to-one video calling is a better mode of communication than Google+ group text discussion (or vice versa). You would even have strengthened your argument if you noted how Facebook lists were underused compared to Groups, and extrapolate it to Circles.
- pkamb 15y agoFacebook used to do with "Lists" the same thing Google+ is doing with circles. The option to add someone to a list/circle right after friending them. They removed it 6+ months ago... presumably because no one took the time to add their friends to lists. It's highly relevant to the article.
