When you make some post on Google+, do you actually use the circles and select only certain circles for sharing?

#2I do it all the time. G+ is like having a blog, twitter and facebook all in the same place, so I can post articles, work-related things, and deeply retarded stuffs only intended to my friends all in the same place instead of having to manage multiple networks. I just need to select the right groups when posting and voila!

#3If you never use the circles, I don't see the advantage of using Google+ over Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr.

#4Yes, absolutely. What would be the point, otherwise?

I post the majority of my stuff to the public stream, because I use Google+ like Twitter except without the limit on what I want to say, and a much better interface for conversation.

#7Meta:
I would have settled for "always or almost always", "sometimes", and "never or almost never"—the choices and the number of them were a bit confusing, and I don't think anyone keeps a statistical average of the number of times they share publicly to warrant that number of choices.

I also post the majority of my stuff as public. I suspect that my "Limited" circle posts will pretty much always be less than 10% of my posts. That might lead some people to believe that the circle feature isn't important since I'm using it only occasionally, but that would be a very misguided and wrong conclusion, it is still very important to me that the feature exists for when I do want to use it.

Agree. And on the question of a vote I find the asymmetric circles not only useful but extremely cool.

#10I also almost always use 'Public'. Because I don't care who sees the post and the unlikeliest of people have been leaving good comments on some of them.
A few, I knew I only wanted to target a specific audience, and so that's where they went.
