This is my personal weblog. There is no particular topic that I'm going to stick with. You can find articles about music, movies, technology, cricket, may be even little bit about politics. Please post your comments - good or bad. This will only encourage me in either way and improve my weblog.

Lycos Circles - Share With Your Favorite Circles Of People

I wouldn't have mentioned about Lycos Circles in my Blog if not for it's great features. First off, I never used any service from Lycos. I really didn't like any of those. They all look crappy. But, Nathan Weinberg from InsideGoogle has somehow got hold of this great Integration Product and put up a review in his Blog. The review is pretty comprehensive and it makes you really start thinking about Lycos, if you are like me.
Circles makes it easy to share things, discuss, stay in touch and make plans by bringing your favorite people together. You can share whatever you want, with whomever you want, and you control who sees what. You can even reach out and meet new people that share your interests. Circles is in beta right now and shows lots of potential for growth. It has eight types of things that you can share - Text, Photos, Websites, Clips, Invitations, Cards, Prediction and Poll.
I would like to quote Nathan about the best part of his review, "Circles is Lycos's central interface now, a "structured, centralized interface". It is exactly what Google wishes they had; a base on which to place everything. Google has many disparate products that don't work together; Gmail doesn't work with Desktop Search, Google Images doesn't work with Picasa, and Google Groups doesn't work with Blogger. Lycos has solved every one of those problems, and now has an interface that will only get more powerful as time goes by". Honestly, I can't agree more. Go ahead, and read his review.
