Before the take-down, Google Circles resembled Gmail/ Google Groups.
Looks like GoogleCircles.com, an April Fool’s joke site, was Cease & Desisted by Google. The site owner says:
I actually got two letters from Google today. The second one was a little more severe and demands that I transfer the domain to Google and claims that because the domain contains the letters “google” in their entirety that it is a trademark infringement.
