Google Imagines People As Applications

• palakchokshi 12y ago
  When will google learn that asking users to create "circles", "groups" etc. for the purpose of sharing content doesn't work. People are too lazy. In the statement below the only way I could share a document with multiple people would be to create an icon that represents a group of people. That means I would have to create icons for all possible combinations of people that I would ever want to share any document or piece of content with rather than selecting the group of people on the fly for that specific piece of content like current sharing mechanisms do. "For example, a user may select a file from his or her documents and drag the file to an icon representing a user's contact," the patent application states. "The user may drop the file onto the icon, which may cause the file to automatically be shared to the contact represented by the icon. The icon may represent a single contact or a group of contacts."
