If you have Internet access, you have probably heard of Google+, which is basically the search engine giant's answer to Facebook.
If you don't have Internet access, how are you reading this?
Like Facebook, Google + lets users and their friends share every detail about their personal life. The difference, and Mountain View-based Google's selling point, is that you can put your friends, acquaintances and family members into different, customizable "circles," so different information is shared with different users.
At first glance, it seems like a decent way to manage information feed and the dreaded "mom is on Facebook" dilemma. Also, users' contacts won't know which circle they are in, which would avoid the complications of having to publicly describe peers as "friends" or "acquaintances."
If circle scheme works, users may indeed be able to acknowledge that they do indeed have a mother while still having the freedom to post pictures involving massive amounts of tequila and poor judgment.
