Sparks looks cool. Sparks is the sort of thing where Google really have the experience, data, and competitive edge. Some of the other ideas seem pretty stupid, to be honest (sorry).

"Instant Upload" really depicts what I dislike most about Google's software at the moment. I already have two separate sync mechanisms on my phone from Google (contacts and apps), now they're making a third. Why can't they just make one simple sync thing?

It feels like they're just launching a smattering of separate vaguely "social" 20% projects at us, when really they should have taken the best bits and integrated them into existing applications. Huddle, for example - doesn't Google Talk already have this functionality?

Circles is where I think social is going to be heading, but being first doesn't mean being best. Facebook has been headed towards this sort of thing for a while now, and once they have this feature why would anyone use Google Circles?
