I really like the way Randall put it: "a company trying to become the Walmart of social interaction... eventually becomes the Walmart of social interaction"[0].

By having so many different people from different circles all ready to receive whatever you blast into the social space of Facebook, you either have to really water down your ideas or constantly put out fires.

As CodeCube said in this thread; despite all the problems with Google+, the circles idea of sharing different posts with different groups was something I really wanted as well. Too bad only tech enthusiasts picked it up...
