  Agreed, but then it starts to sound like you're just participating in a really unstructured forum. I like the thought of public Circles but they really have to nail the implementation.

    But I wonder if unstructured forum isn't precisely the model for sustained conversations best suited to feed/stream interaction? My sense is that time-based content consumption (streams) beg for solutions that allow activity to preserve and sustain the good stuff. This is essentially how FB updates work. But in FB there's no navigation back to active posts. Which is where I think G+ could provide a real solution.

      "Objet petit a" ...in technology it is data loss. History and timeline. Lack of archiving and activity indicators is haunting every time I post. Will I be able to go back? Some sites are vulnerably unsearchable, deleterious, bankrupt, block, unfree or datalock: same problem. My voice gets lost. + could - devastation Maybe set a +example.

        Not often you see a Lacanian reference in this industry. It's more than data loss -- or rather, data is as often the product of interaction and a form of communication as it is just data. So preserving interestingness and relevance by sustaining attention, which is easily accomplished by action (not data), is I think possible. Features simply have to be designed to privilege communication over raw information.
