Does anyone remember Circles? A space for sharing specific content with specific groups?

Introducing Spaces
Today we're launching a new tool for group sharing that aims to tackle many of the pain points we've seen repeatedly:
* getting people together is hard
* jumping between apps to share things is slow
* conversations often go off-topic
* finding what was shared before is painful
We wanted to build a better group sharing experience that addresses these issues and more, so we made a new app called Spaces. More in the official Google blog post: https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/introducing-spaces-tool-for-small-group.html

Heh.. And this new app solves this how?
Another app my friends won't install..
People in your circles can't see what circle they're in, and they're not following the same group of people as you are. So it's not a community of mutual connections, like Communities or Spaces are. Those are completely different models from Circles.
You're saying that because the Spaces are labeled with the intent of the space it's different from Circles? Because of a label?
Spaces are like an email were everyone is in the cc field. Anyone can initiate a conversation with the whole group. The sharing is fully mutual.
Although, only with text or links, so I can see the motivation for the Spaces app.
Seems like it would have been a good addition to G+ itself, but I think Googlers have fallen for the anti G+ media hype from the twitterati and avoid working on G+ as if it were the plague.
Ah well, cue the twitterati to call for the end of G+ once again.. in three.. two.. one...
Still not sure we need an entirely new app/service for that.
