I thought the song Circles by one of my favorite bands – Soul Coughing was fitting to the introduction of circles and Google Plus. This new social network is still so new and everyone is still trying to figure out how it can fit in within whatever industry people are in..But the possibilities are seemingly endless. Once Google Docs are introduced to “hangouts” and we have the ability to make our circles public/private, I think we will see many brands and schools using this platform in some of the most innovative ways ever been done on the internet… And hopefully, I will be one to merge the two. :)

Add me to one of your GooglePlus Circles and make sure to say hello so I can add you! Oh, and make sure to check out my feature on Women of Google+ : Shana Ray.

When you were languishing in rooms I built to foul you in
And when the wind set down in funnel form and pulled you in

I don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in
don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in

When the ghostly dust of violence traces everything
And when the gas runs out just wreck it, you insured the thing

I don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in
don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in

Doom da doom da doom
Well I know what I’m doin’
Doom da doom da doom
Well I know what I’m doin’
Doom da doom da doom
Well I know what I’m doin’
Doom da doom da doom
Well I know what I’m doin’

But I can’t sigh now that you made the move
It has gone and gone to dogs, lay down on the floor
For the right price I can get everything
Slip into the car, go driving to the farthest star

I don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in
don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in
don’t need to walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in circles
walk around in

According to a Media Post article, MySpace ruled the U.S. social networking space in terms of sheer volume, receiving more than three-quarters of all the social networking traffic in the U.S. in 2007.

Facebook took the number two spot–snagging nearly 13% of all social net traffic, followed by Bebo with about 1%. But all you Facebook lovers should be happy because traffic to MySpace was actually down by 8% from the previous year. In contrast, traffic to Facebook was up by some 51%.

Researching age demographics for Myspace vs. Facebook provided me with no good recent reports on the age differences, though I found a great one from 2006 about how 68% of Myspace users are over 25.

According to Quantcast, Facebook’s demographics leaned heavier to 18-24 (54% are 18-24) where as MySpace’s demographics were spread out a little more (38% are 18-24 and 22% are 25-34).
