Every time we go to Taupo we always visit Huka falls. I must have been there a dozen times at least over the years. Always worth a visit. You should fly the DJI right over the falls. I reckon that would be spectacular.

Re: Google Plus Feature Request: Automatic Circles

You bring up some interesting points Sarah. I have been on Google+ for less than a day. Overall I am very impressed. Having Google suggest some circles for me would be useful. I can see a day when maintaining these may become a liitle cumbersome.

As for your comment about sharing and privacy I thin Google have hit the ball out of the park. The way you can go public or share privately with a select few is brilliant.

It is a different approach to searching. Remains to be seen how successful it will be in the long term. Woudn't be surprised if Google started doing things like this at some point.

Turns out I did have some invites so I have sent you one.

Groupon are going to regret this decision. This market is going to have an increasing amount of competition. Groupon should have taken the money while the going is good.
