The mobile interface is a bit clunky. I will have to try it when I have time to get to my laptop.

Google+Facebook extension

Trying it out now, but it isnt seeming to load (or it takes a long time to load) my facebook feed. Let me know if it works for anyone else

Edit: Works fine, took a minute to get it going but its pretty neat, could use some tweaking to get it 100% but it works fine

they're saying it's MALWARE!!!!

Not quite malware, but its software design can be changed by the author after you installed it. I cant seem to find the original post where I posted it to delete it. I got it from lifehacker which up until now has been a pretty much trusted source

to remove if anyone has installed it:

Go to facebook privacy settings > Applications > Remove "Google Plus"
In Chrome, remove it from tools > Extensions
In Firefox, Tools > Addons

I have always liked it. At a quick glance it shows that they agree with what that person said and can let people know without repeating everything. If they are agreeing to something you don't like you can discuss your opinion of the topic with them.

I just started using the Sparks and I kinda like the idea of this feature so far.

And being Google, more intelligence-collection & storing, I'm sure.

The thing with Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and similar sites is they can only mine from you the data you provide. Every site, regardless of how nice and friendly they want to portray themselves to be, will sell your info for money because there's a business for it that pays. If there's info you don't want out there, don't share it.
