This is still a rumor, probably a try by google to kill Facebook and If true, Google will soon launch a social network called "Google Circles" (as in social circles). in my opinion it is an updated version of the "Google Me" social network proposed last year. what I find about Google Social Circles is

According to the Silicon Valley rumor mill, Google Circles is a secret social networking project designed to bring control and clarity to what you're sharing and with whom. The idea would be that you would have multiple "Circles" -- call them "Immediate Family," "Extended Family," "Co-Workers," "Best Friends," "Old Friends" and so on. You could then designate everything you post according to which circle sees it.

I believe that still this news is rumor, as There isn't any media release from Google Media Center that they gone launch in Social Media web site or application in online world.

And I m complete agree with abelLazm that Google Circle is a secret social networking project. so we have to wait for real time media release.

They already had Orkut and we all know how it ended...
To challenge Facebook you need something professional. Why have people moved from Myspace and Hi5 to FB? That is the answer.

Other networks like Hi5 tried to catch up, with games and status messages, but it didn't felt the same. FB pages have less clutter and to many people they feel more professional, highly respected individuals have FB, not Hi5, Myspace or others, so people want to be associated with that.

I believe that Google users automatically using various application related with Google and they already have their social circle their. So if Google is really trying to build Google circle then it will be modification and updating old Google applications in new format.
