The web app looks great and I love how smooth the interface is (yet to try the iPhone app).
I found, however, that it wasn't immediately obvious how to add friends to a circle after creating one. On the other hand, it didn't take long to discover I had to click through to Manage Circles and then click on the circle I'd like to add people too. The process took a maximum of 30 seconds but this could be a lot quicker.
I have an idea though. What about having a button to edit the circle I'm currently in? I think that'd make it much, much easier. Another idea would be a small edit button when you hover over a circle when switching between them? This seems like it would be a little easier to fit in with the interface but would make it less obvious and could make that portion of the interface less usable.
I've put together a quick 'n dirty example of the first idea for you:

I'm not really a designer though so I reckon something better could be done with more thought and skill (and source files rather than photochopping PNGs!)
- olivercameron 14y agoGreat feedback! We're working on fixing this so it's more clear.
- vnorby 14y agoYou're right, that is annoying. Thanks for the suggestion. Here's what we're going to do. On hover on the Circles list, we'll swap out the member count for an Edit link: https://img.skitch.com/20120517-gg1dd9n3ecy5882gd8335tap44.jpg https://img.skitch.com/20120517-gg1dd9n3ecy5882gd8335tap44.j...
- jwdunne 14y agoOh wow, that's great! I'm currently trying to get some of my friends on board so we can use this. I think they'd appreciate the interface and the privacy - which they all find quite jarring about Google+ and Facebook respectively!
