A Circle is not a Space – Traction Software

Timely and insightful analysis from hypertext pioneer Greg Lloyd; check the post link below for more details.  A couple observations, relative to Greg’s thesis: 1) Google+ isn’t fully baked, at this point; Google has been clear that Google+ is not even at beta status yet; 2) Google will likely integrate Google+ with Google Sites (and perhaps also Google Groups), and that approach — extending Google+ with a true workspace-based model (or two, although Google Groups are more messaging-centric than workspace-centric…), rather than trying to morph circles into hybrid spaces — is likely to be more productive.

For example, I enjoy David Pogue (pogue) and Steven Fry (stephenfry) for their ability to mix notes, quips and links. I also follow a sampling of folk interested in hypertext, social software and technology – at least those who don’t just repeat what I scan in more detail from their… Continue reading: Traction Software, Inc. | Blog1014: Explaining Twitter – One of Three Places for People
