Facebook can work with contacts like Google+

The new social initiative of the search giant Google+, which has already been widely discussed in Habré for a week, turned out to be excited not only by ordinary users, but also by Google’s largest competitor in the social networking field, Facebook. At least, at the moment at the level of rumors news is circulating that in the near future, the brainchild of Mark Zuckerberg intends to launch a new video conferencing service together with Skype - here it is worth recalling that on Google+ there is already such functionality called Hangout. And now it became known about the new, however, while an unofficial answer to one of the memorable possibilities of the social network Google.

Four Facebook developers - Vladimir Kolesnikov, Peng Fan, Zahan Malkani, Brian Rosenthal - regardless of the network itself, presented their solution http://www.circlehack.com/ , which allows you to visually sort your friends by dragging their photos into containers, visually looking like circles with simple animation.

Technically, CircleHack works as follows: the user performs authentication on the site using his Facebook login and password, agreeing that the application has access to the page data. After that, he sees a list of his friends in the form of ordered rectangles that can be dragged into a circle at the bottom of the page. It is curious that it is possible to create a new “circle”, but to delete an already created one — no; for this you have to go to the "full-fledged" Facebook and edit the created list there.

Interestingly, the possibility of more detailed and visually simple grouping of their contacts on Google was called one of the main advantages of Google+ over other social projects and Facebook, in particular.
