A visual guide to Circles in Google + By Ross Mayﬁeld

Circles in are confusing, but are at the core of what Google Plus can do for you By Ross Mayﬁeld

Google Plus Circles are lists of people

You can make lots of circles to list your people

You can give your Google Circles names or lables

The names you give your circles are private, nobody can see how you label them

A circle is not a group •  Groups have membership, can be public or private and discoverable •  Note how you can’t learn from the circles other people create •  Google this: Ridiculously Easy Group Forming and Reed’s Law

Facebook is symmetric sharing, based on conﬁrmed Jes

TwiKer sharing is based on asymmetric follow

Google Plus’s Circles are Asymmetric Sharing

Google Plus lets you share publicly, extended or limited to your circles

What you see in your stream starts with people you share with and they share back. You can see menJons. Incomping is everyone who shares with you

You only see the comments in threads that someone is enricled with you started

Good things about asymmetric sharing in Google Plus’s Circles: privacy, management, version your proﬁle, disable reshare, latent connecJon
