Google aired a 90 second TV commercial on Thanksgiving Day during the Lions/Packers Football game.

The commercial highlighted some of the features of Google +, focusing on the circles and hangouts features – but mostly on circles. The goal of the commercial was to communicate how Google + enables you to share as you would in “real life,” i.e. share certain things with certain groups of friends.
