Congrats on the launch! How do you prevent this from turning into another FB? Is there a difference between using this and using FB where you have all of your posts / activity only viewable with your friends? I guess one obvious difference is FB's advertising and data mining. Are there any features that you absolutely will not add to Circles in the future because they will 'cross the line' into turning Circles into a FB clone? |

It's a very valid question, the answer is that I don't think the market wants another FB (especially after today). In that, and from continually trying to scratch my own itch, we need to build something that works in an entirely different way.
If you try the app, we've turned a lot of 'standard' social features on their head, like how interactions work and are viewed in the app. But to answer your question:
- We will not ask for any personal information (such as job, school, interests etc). - We will not add noise on the feed, such as what other people are liking/commenting on. - We will not have any third party content on the feed. Eg anything that isn't from your contacts you have circled. - We currently (and will continue) to only show you posts from contacts you have actively circled. - We currently (and will continue to) keep the feed in chronological order.
