I don't really understand what's going on here, besides Google throwing out another sharing \/ community \/ messaging \/ threading \/ picturey thing when they already have tools that do all of this which could use some love, not further confusion or dis-assembly.<\/p>\n

That Spaces allows participants who aren't using a Google account is … interesting, or even attractive, but until I actually try this thing out with some people, I would rather see them improve and make easier what they have, rather than (e.g.) break off bits and pieces of Google+ (which does, or did, much of what Spaces seems to provide) and put us in a several-month beta that still<\/i> does't have all the features transferred over.<\/p>\n

Introducing Spaces<\/b>
Today we're launching a new tool for group sharing that aims to tackle many of the pain points we've seen repeatedly:
* getting people together is hard
* jumping between apps to share things is slow
* conversations often go off-topic
* finding what was shared before is painful<\/p>\n

We wanted to build a better group sharing experience that addresses these issues and more, so we made a new app called Spaces. More in the official Google blog post: https:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2016\/05\/introducing-spaces-tool-for-small-group.html<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
