Can't make everyone happy. Google is offering some limited mechanisms for controlling what you see (by assigning people you follow to circles) and who you speak to (by sending some posts to specific circles.) The OP wants to have the ability to let readers filter posts based on which circle the poster sent them to (i.e. subscribe to his tech posts or his german posts, or both.) I understand why that's valuable but I don't think he realizes that's probably a corner case. It's also not clear why Twitter doesn't suffer from the same problem; he's saying he compensates by having multiple Twitter accounts, but that seems like a workaround rather than a feature. Implementing what the OP suggests would likely increase the complexity of the Circles system a great deal while not adding a ton of value for most users; this is a classic case of what you can't design based on the most extreme needs of users without compromising your base usability.
