This is fantastic. Well done! One minor comment though... I'd like to hide links I'm no longer interested in, or at least mark some as read. I would get greater use from this with some inbox-like functionality--but that may not be

"In the past I've fulminated about various social networking systems. The basic gist is this: the utility of a social network to any given user is proportional to the number of users it has" This is a bit clumsy. If all of my friends are on

Could be a bet on timing. Maybe they think IMVU was ahead of its time...

I think the idea is that it could create an experience similar to Turntable in the sense that you can "socialize" with strangers in a safe way. Many of those strangers also may be famous or influential; there may be something valuable in an

I think you're stereotyping too strongly here. The difference in character between Princeton and Yale is marginal.

Begs the question: are circles valuable? I think that people are actually taking the time to organize their circles. You almost have to be a google+ anarchist to not organize your circles. But are people actually using circles? The only tim

It would probably be too much work if "circling" were done after following a person, but since circling is merely part of the process of following someone, it doesn't seem like that much of a burden.

It's not practical to write an essay on an iPad. Edit: without an external keyboard.

We're "post pc" when it comes to multimedia, but not for anything that requires a keyboard, e.g. word processing etc.... That's a big deal, no doubt, but until we move past our reliance on the keyboard for some essential applications, we're

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus is extremely readable and a classic of modern nihilistic thought. I'd also recommend Nietzsche's The Genealogy of Morals. It's not his most famous work, but it's pretty widely acclaimed as his best.
