Footbag on Google+

there's this feature on Google+ called sparks, and it scans the net for articles/videos(my fav so far being http://vimeo.com/26323418 ) on subjects. Naturally I put foot bag in as a spark, and a lot of really cool articles came up that I probably would never see otherwise. I recommend you check it out.

Interesting. I'll check it out. I've mainly ignored sparks, since for other topics I didn't find it that useful. I already have sources for information on things I'm interested in.

On google plus, if anybody wants to check it out and doesn't have it yet, I'm happy to invite everybody who wants one. I figure unlike with wave and gmail the best policy is to send as many invites as you can, rather than hoarding them, thinking important people will want them. Not that I'm saying you guys aren't important

Just that with the other google products I gave them more value than they were worth.

I'm on G+ and I honestly wasn't very impressed with Sparks. I guess I was hoping for a content filter (to balance out the "Circles" which are people filters) that would show me footbag related updates from G+ as well as other sites. Sparks seem to only be from outside sites but it definitely brings a lot in that I wouldn't have looked at otherwise.

Yup, got it. Thanks! Also, some of the articles on Sparks are very interesting. Some video I've never seen as well.
