Can someone explain to me why this is supposed to be better than Facebook, besides giving people a grace period before their parents join and embarrass them once more? ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

1) You organize your friends into "circles" and can publish things only in certain circles and even use different names/photos for each one, I think. The people who are not in the circle don't even know it exists. And 2) It's invite only so that makes it cool. 3) Facebook is evil, man. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

That's the thing - you put your parents in the family circle and they don't see the passed-out drunk stupid photos you post in the friends circle.  |

I guess it might matter (a little bit)...eventually. And I know it's still in beta but it doesn't feel very different, except for somehow feeling more smart phone friendly, which of course I don't care about since I don't have one. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

I'm surprised you haven't heard of them, they are a fairly large internet company primarily known for their search engine. |

It's also a villain in an early 20th century children's novel.

I'm pretty sure you could make certain things accessable to certain people on FB. Not sure if it applies to photos and I have no idea how to do it, but I know you can with certain things. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

On Facebook they are called "friend lists"... You can hide and show things very specific on Facebook. ------------- http://boray.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - http://boray.bandcamp.com |
