Google Circles - The latest Social Product to Hit the Scene

Google Circles - The latest Social Product to Hit the Scene
According to certain reports, Google has reportedly announced the release of Google Circles, the latest in the long list of super social products that Google intends to release in the future.

But a new teaser had emerged on to the scenes from the blogosphere. The teaser is that Google is not only announcing anything newsworthy but it also has denied that Circles even exists! This came straight from the mouth of Google developer advocate, Chris Messina, who was supposed to be directly involved with the product but had no clue that it even existed.

According to the reports, Google Circles is very similar to Google Buzz, as it helps to leverage photos, video as well as status message sharing, but it is also similar to Facebook in that it is respectful of user privacy. In short, it helps to create borders between users and friends, family and colleagues, in a way that even Facebook cannot.

However, what remains to be seen is how this social effort by Google will take shape.
