Why would I pick this over Google plus, or in addition to Google plus?
- olivercameron 14y agoEveryme Circles are completely private, and everyone knows exactly who they're sharing with, whereas Google+ Circles are a confusing concept. Everyme also uses your address book to do some amazing things, like magically create Circles such as family, co-workers, college friends, sweetheart etc., and then keep in touch with them using the address book (this means not everyone needs the app!).
- alexwolfe 14y agoWhat if I want some of my circles to be public and some to be private?
- debacle 14y agoAs an aside, this comment is a great example of why Hacker News is a great resource for startups looking for good feedback.
- olivercameron 14y agoWe don't offer public circles, since we're focusing on nailing private sharing. We want people to feel comfortable, so having a public option adds complexity.
- jamesgeck0 14y agoCould you elaborate on how Google+ circles are confusing?
- olivercameron 14y agoI could be in 1000 Google+ circles, but I would have no clue who else I'm in the circle with or what the circle is called. It's a very strange concept, and doesn't improve much upon private sharing (it's more of a lists feature). In Everyme Circles, everyone knows exactly who they're sharing with, because you can see all the content that is being shared.
