Short answer: the “social circle” rumor pointed at a real Google effort. Google rolled out a social project in mid‑2011 that used a circle/group sharing model and launched publicly as Google+ (often pronounced “Google Plus”). (techcrunch.com)

What followed matters for anyone reading this thread years later: Google+ introduced circle‑based sharing but never displaced Facebook. In October 2018 Google announced it would end the consumer Google+ service (citing low engagement and a privacy bug), and consumer accounts were shut down on April 2, 2019. Reporting at the time described an initial API bug affecting up to about 500,000 users and later reporting of a larger exposure; those disclosures accelerated the shutdown decision. (theguardian.com)

Google didn’t entirely abandon social features for businesses: an enterprise version persisted (branded Currents) and, as Google’s Workspace roadmap shows, Currents communities were later migrated into the newer Spaces experience. If the original rumor led you here, that’s the lifecycle: rumor → Google+ launch (2011) → consumer sunset (2019) → enterprise successors and migration to Spaces (2020s). (workspaceupdates.googleblog.com)

Practical takeaway for digital marketing: don’t expect a revived consumer “Google Circle” product. Treat Google’s current social value mainly via YouTube, Google Business Profile / Maps, and Workspace collaboration tools for internal communities. For historical verification, consult the contemporary coverage and the Workspace update above for exact dates and migration notes. A few members in this thread were on the right track — notably on the circles idea and flagging the 2011 announcement — but the long‑term outcome was a sunset of the consumer product.

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.

It is only rumor nothing else.

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.

Member Avatar for bahed121

yes you are right affiliate7 orkut vanished just because of FB's professionalism and offers & functionality they are giving to their users

Member Avatar for affiliate7

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.

Yes, this is completely a rumor...no official announcement yet on this.

Member Avatar for customsoft

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.

Its true and its beta has been created and lunched very soon ,

Hi there! Google wants to make things right for them. I mean they aim to provide at least everyone's need: from being a search engine, they provided different software such as browser, OS, and this one as social media. I heard about it but there is no confirmation yet.
