What circles enables is selective sharing and private groups in a less painful way. The larger my facebook circle is with a mish mash of people from different parts of my life, the less willing I am to share in general.
Young kids will want a way to do private groups as both 1) they get older 2) their parents and other adults hop on facebook--since it's not socially acceptable to say no to your mom on fb. And if google nailed that, I think they have a good shot, as what teenagers, rap artists, and technorati do now is what everyone will be doing in the future.
That said, facebook is a fast follower. Their response to how private groups and sharing could be enough to stave off google.
