I think that this is the biggest challenge that G+ needs to solve, at least for the way that I use the service.
I want to share things publicly without spamming my friends with things they would not be interested in. What I want to be able to do is share something publicly that my Hackers circle or my Rock Climbing circle would appreciate without spamming the other.
Similarly, there are plenty of people that I want to follow because of their insight in one area, but I don't want to see their lolcats.
- jack-r-abbit 15y agoI think the difference is like this: Circles: I don't think you want to see my lolcats so I'll just deny you access to see them. Filters: I don't want to see your lolcats so I'll just hide them from my stream. As a consumer of my stream, I would like to have as much control over it as I can. Circles gives me almost no control over what I see. Since we don't know what Circles we've been put in and we don't see content for Circles we're not in, we really have no idea what we've missed.
