Eeesh, was not aware that merely creating a circle would spam all of my friends in that circle. I like the idea behind everyme, but if it isn't properly communicated when I'll be sending stuff to friends you lose a lot of trust really fast. Edit: Not entirely true, requires a post first, see ensuing thread...

Hi newhouse. Thanks for trying Everyme. We've thought a lot about this process and have made sure not to do anything without your permission. We don't spam your friends when you create a Circle. We only share things with your Circle friends when you actually post them, by clicking the share button in the Circle.

  You're right, my error. I had a friend mention that she received two separate text messages, the first being about the post, the second being the context (i.e. they were added to a circle). I mistakenly assumed that they weren't sent together and sent in the opposite order. Might be nice to somehow communicate more explicitly that no one is notified until after you post something in a circle.

    Yes, I agree! That is something we are working on. We are in a difficult place because we are extraordinarily cautionary about what messages we send through email/text but we don't to clutter the UI with alerts and confirm dialogs.

      Some problems: I mistyped a phone number and I cant remove it. There are people in my family circle which have the same last name but are not in my family and I cant edit the circle. I cant delete a circle.... ARGH I think I just sent "Sam loves this" to a bunch of people! WTF. I am deleting this until this crap is fixed.

        Sam, slide to delete works on phone numbers, circles, stories, people in your circles, and other places in the app where you need to remove data. Hope that helps! vibhu@everyme.com if you need more assistance.
