Uh oh...one of my people just was told that they've temporarily exceeded their capacity. DOH! -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 08:17 4
- Oh, it's Google Plus's capacity, not one person's invites. Duh. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 08:27 1

        *flexes* nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:21 1

MSNBC suspends Mark Halperin indefinitely for calling the President a "dick" (nmbl) - Brian Jun 30, 08:09 7
- that's a shame. - znufrii Jun 30, 08:24
- *drinky drinky* -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 08:14
- maybe he should have just called him a 'douche'. - Diva Jun 30, 08:14
- i agree Nixon was really bad -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:12
- Ok, who had Obama in the "First president to be called a dick on MSNBC" pool? Nobody? -- nm - Ender Jun 30, 08:11 2

This is timely: Recall last year and Mother and Brother had a blow-up, partly over Facebook but really over relational boundaries? - ty97 Jun 30, 08:05 13
- This is why they both need Google+. She can be in the Family Circle and the stuff he shares with Friends, she won't be able to see. Woo hoO! -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 08:42
- time heals all wounds. they will get over it. - Andie Jun 30, 08:08 2
  - The wounds concern me some, but I'm much more concerned about the root cause that has not been fixed. - ty97 Jun 30, 08:09 1
    - he needs to stand his ground. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 08:29
- heh. It's awesome she defriended him -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:06 8
  - happened last year too. - ty97 Jun 30, 08:09 7
    - When/if they refriend he seriously needs to restrict her access. - Ender Jun 30, 08:12 6
      - She'll know. He's friends with aunts/cousins. Moreover, she's friends with a lot of *his* friends. - ty97 Jun 30, 08:15 5
        
        she knows now that he needs boundaries, so, if he tells her straight up that this is what he needs it can't be worse than it is right now. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:41
        
        My family has a ban on intergenerational FB friendships for exactly this reason -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 08:18 3
        
        I wish, I wish. My mother told me not to get offended if you defriended me next - ty97 Jun 30, 08:22 2
        
        heh. You've got a helicopter mom -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:43

Translating Circle to Network seems apt to me. Being a geek, though, I would have translated it to Subnet. :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 30, 08:04 5
- year and circle would be cirkel and has the same meaning -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:08 3
  - Does cirkel have the same "social clique" meaning? Or just the shape? :) -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 30, 08:09 1
    - exact same meaning you can also get "brown cirkel" but i don't dare trying that coffee :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:10
  - except cirkel is also my favorite coffee brand :) - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:09
- true. what bothers me is that i can have a circle of people, but the people in that circle may not have circled me in the same way, or have the same - colin Jun 30, 08:06
The whole "circles" thing makes me think this is all a plot to take over the world... - znufrii Jun 30, 08:03
Hey google, how about instead of trying to be facebook 2...you create an easy export of gmail to pdf? - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:01 3
- I wonder if it would make sense for them to let you copy emails into Google Docs to solve that -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 30, 08:05
- In Gmail, click on "More Actions" and then "Create a Document". This puts it in your Google Documents. From there, export to .pdf. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 08:05 1
  - That doesn't bring over the header information which you get in a simple print. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:18
So today is promotion day (I got promoted, yay) the absolutely destroyed my office - MDH Jun 30, 08:00 16
- Thanks everyone! :-) -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 08:17
- yeah! ( i sort of love that your company uses confetti and litter for promotions.) -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:10 3
  - *G*litter, not *LITTER* -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:11 2
    - litter would by funny as all hell. - groiny Jun 30, 08:11 1
      - The M&A group put trash in one of their promotees offices -- nm - MDH Jun 30, 08:17
- are you wearing latex hotpants and a pink pailliette jacket? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:07
- Yay promotion! Just wear the glitter out to the club tonight. -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 08:06
- That confetti can be a pain. I actually banned it in our office after it started getting in keyboards etc. - MojaveMeg Jun 30, 08:06 3
  - *hate* glitter and confetti. i hate it like Anakin hates sand. -- nm - TFox Jun 30, 08:08
  - and...Congrats !! -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 30, 08:07 1
    - this -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:07
- Congrats! manager or Senior Manager? (or your firms equivalent) -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:05 1

- Don Homer! -- nm - mara Jun 30, 08:01
Will, let's say I post something to my Slackers circle that I want to share with other circles. Once I see it in my Slackers stream, I click "share" - mara Jun 30, 08:00 15
- IMO, this circles stuff seems like more work than it's worth. Maybe one "exclude" circle. Maybe. -- nm - TFox Jun 30, 08:04 11
  - I don't think I'm following you. Everyone is excluded by default. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 08:10
  - I think it depends on how big this gets. I might want a family and a work. But "friends" and "aquaintances" is pretty blurry for me. I guess if - Amy Jun 30, 08:10 9
    - I deleted Aquantences and Friends and set up my own. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 08:14
    - OK, I could see family. Everyone else though is like... ok, I made a circle to tell people things but what if you don't want to hear it? - TFox Jun 30, 08:12 1
      - But you could make something like a, I don't know, Fox and Hen Circle...and then the rest of your Stream could be spared. :) -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 08:14
    - If they're douches, why have them in a circle at all? -- nm - mara Jun 30, 08:12 5
      - "this news is for all my douche friends" -- nm - Roger More Jun 30, 08:31
      - It's like you don't even have facebook... :) Can you leave them uncircled but "friended"? -- nm - Amy Jun 30, 08:27 1
        
        Well, no, in the Google context, they're the same thing. You can have them in your address book but not in a circle, as the "lowest level," so to - mara Jun 30, 08:37
      - Okay, fess up. Who invited the douche? -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 08:27
      - maybe they are not douches every day, but maybe like, once a month? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:14
- Oh, that's nifty. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:02 2
  - what are you, 70? nm -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:03 1
    - That's fifty dumbass. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:19

Seems I missed on the + fun. -- nm - sycor Jun 30, 07:57 5
- I know. No wedding invite for me either :( -- nm - Beaker Jun 30, 08:07
- what's your email? -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 07:58 3
  - inside - sycor Jun 30, 07:59 2
    - added -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:05
    - k...you should have a gmail in a second. -- nm - Jim Jun 30, 08:01
