Circles
• Different Circles for different communities
• But Circles are broadcast not read - architecture dumps you back into stream
• Public cuts across - Public is the de facto default (Twitter model)
• Still need two I.Ds for teaching & "RealMe"
A work in progress
• Search not working (apart from people)
• No groups like Friendfeed Groups/Facebook pages - you can't join someone else's circle
• No APIs (yet)
• No tagging (yet)

Public versus private
Females score higher marks than males (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p < 0.001). Although females make more contributions than males, males are strategically focussed on assessment criteria.
"Authority"
• Active group (red)• Internalized group (purple)• Inactive group (blue)
