Google+ was better. The concept of "circles" being the primary way of interacting with people was ingenious and far better represents how real people interact. My fencing friends are not the same as my RPG friends who are not the same as my family.
Facebook adopted this with "lists", but they're not treated as the core part of the experience that G+'s Circles were, so they don't get used.
I’ve put everyone on a list but there have been times Facebook has made it hard to even post only for that list
Damn. I can’t imagine having enough people in my life to make lists.
There’s something wrong with me though. I’ve spent most of my life alone and my biggest fear has always been centered around being asked to leave my space.
Of course when you get older that gets harder. I’m lucky at the moment. I’m a stay at home dad who goes to spend time working on various projects with my uncle when I’m free.
If he died tonight I’d have no social life at all.
