.. random ES thought on content-based circle classifications..
Imagine if we could infer the type of circle based on either the content you post there (via NLP), the linguistic name, or user specification?
We could:
-- boost/dampen the volume of a post based on circle matching:
I have you in my _Photos_ circle, you share to your _heavy_metal_ circle == dampen.
-- You post your high scores to _public_ + _chess_, I follow you in a circle named _games_ == boost.
-- My wife posts to _family_, I have her in _family_ == boost
-- My wife posts to _Tennis_ and public, I don't have her in a sports circle == dampen.
The reason I've been thinking about this is another what-if --
-- what if Apps had a one-to-one relationship with a plus page?
-- When I add an App, it can circle me back.
-- If I perform an action on the third party site the app can plus-mention me, or it can group together users into relavant circles to send updates.
-- I can put noisy apps in a circle and lower the volume.
Note that App could be a Game (like Angry Birds), an App (like Remember the Milk) or even a web site (like 8tracks or Soundcloud..)
Maybe this is stretching the model too much, but it's certainly fun to ponder!

After almost a month our Flume MR is finally running again. The mystery of the broken shard has been finally solved!
*shard (n.)*
a piece of broken ceramic, metal, glass or rock typically having sharp edges.
*sharding (v.)*
dunno… but you will likely wound yourself and you get to keep all the pieces.

tmux FTW
If you're still using screen or byobu you might want to take a look at tmux. I finally took the plunge after some weird screen session deaths.
Anyone have some googler tmux.conf's? Mine is still pretty bare bones so far -- I'm going cold turkey tmux (except for my prefix key which I've always set to C-z)

Orkut contact import for Google+ was soft-launched this week for people in India and Brazil.
We're not promoting this externally, but I feel the need to give big props to Michael Sindelar, Eduardo Thuler , Victor Ribeiro , Paulo Golgher, and Diego Fernandes for making this happen.

This is the proposed new Opensocial Mission statement. What do you think? Let me know by wednesday's Opensocial Board meeting.
_Believing that people are the bond of interactions on the Web, the mission of the OpenSocial Foundation is resolved to fundamentally changing and advancing the social Web. We aim to foster a dynamic, participatory ecosystem that is open to all, ensuring the free and transparent development of a diverse set of community driven specifications and an honest and open exchange of ideas._

So it was recently password change time. I estimate that I spend 4 hours a year typing passwords (240 days per year, 1 minute of typing a password per day).
So.. what better thing to optimize! Here's what I came up with:
* one hand typability.
* minimize the amount of 'finger seek' latency.
* Made sure there was an appropriate 'stride' to ensure that typing is easy.
For once I'm happy to change my password.

We recently started importing Orkut friends for new Google+ signups in India and Brazil. Orkut friends show up as Google+ contacts in the circle editor.
We will be offering an upgrade path for existing users soon. However if you'd like this for your own Google+ account you follow these steps:
1) Use a Brazil or India proxy: go/ganon for the firefox or chrome extension.
2) Visit the following URL:
https://plus.google.com/up/?type=st&force=1
Enjoy!
