Geek Anvil (currently geeking...)

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Google+ - the "circles" feature (where you can divide your contacts into friends, work colleagues, family, stalkers, etc) seems like a very good improvement on Facebook's "share everything with everyone" approach.

Even though I know Facebook and Google both have shedloads of us anyway, how good an idea is it to basically have these merged? I'm not entirely convinced I want that...

· Supply chain and innovation advisors and academics

· Investors and funders

· Service providers with an interest in digital and commercial exploitation

god no! i hope not! wasn't such a good sentence.

then should proceed to speak as if he was talking to us.

there has got to be a laugh in there which ever way.

It's probably just a matter of time until FB is going to include a more or less similar feature.
