Yes, that is another great illustration of how complex and unclear this system of individual lists is. Now imagine the same scenario under the Places metaphor.

Yes, that is another great illustration of how complex and unclear this system of individual lists is.
Now imagine the same scenario under the Places metaphor. You go to the "Work Friends" place and share an item. Jill, who is also in that place has access to the exact same list of people that are in the place and so knows exactly who she is talking to when she comments on that shared item. No confusion.
- tonfa 15y agoGoogle+ works in the way you describe (when you comment you know who can view the post).
- joebadmo 15y agoWell, that's encouraging, but I think part of the problem is that I didn't know that. And I think part of why I didn't know that is because "Circles" isn't actually a metaphor that helps me understand how it works. Places, OTOH, is, and I think the metaphor is flexible enough to add other interesting functionality, too. Edit: Also, can you elaborate on how that works? Is there a list of names attached to each shared item?
