Thing's I noticed trying out the demo:

- You can only have add a person to one "circle". If I wanted to add someone to two or more, I'm SOL. Maybe they will change this.

- A "circle" can only contain a certain number of users before it runs out of room. I haven't seen how it deal with this - does it shrink the circles as you add more? What happens if there are 500 people in one, would they be a bunch of 1 x 1 pixel dots? Or does the circle just say "You can't add any more people"?



1) I saw this elsewhere, apparently its a demo limitation.

2) I also thought this and decided the circles probably just get really big. We will see however!


> You can only have add a person to one "circle".

Huh? Yes you can. (I just did.)


The demo has a number in the middle of the circle, I'm guessing the faces are just subset of the users in that circle.


That seems reasonable, but how do you do anything useful with the faces if you can only see a subset? This is why I am a sorted lists man :)


I'm hoping they're doing something clever with it.

Like showing the last people online or the most frequently interacted with etc.


I tried it and you can have people in several circles. Perhaps your interface is giving you some problems.


beck5 pointed out that it's a demo limitation, so that is good to know
