"You've reached the daily limit for adding to your circles. You can add more tomorrow." For some reason it doesn't let me add anything by using that button. I can manually select each one and add them using the popup :)
It's fixed now. They splitted the main circle in circles with 999 people each.

Yes! Leave it to Google to screw up privacy, I don't use G+ much but this right here has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I would say it's intentionally convoluted to get people to have poorly set settings (more "sharing"), but let's face it, Google's hilarious UI's come from their aversion to design (they're engineers!). Anyway, I spent 20 minutes frantically trying to figure out how to handle gChat privacy settings…
Google's hilarious UI's come from their aversion to design This is false. Google has many staff UI designers and does tons of internal testing and UI research. (We have rooms with one-way mirrors all over the place, just for UI research.) It's likely that you find the privacy settings difficult because Google+ does a lot, and privacy settings are, in fact, difficult. Very scary. What else are they going to "integrate…
They don't need to know when I'm online. They don't need the ability to interrupt what I'm doing. I don't need my chat list huge and unusable. By all means give me the ability to add people and circles to chat, but making it automatic seems silly.

#96I would rather hold on to what's left of my privacy and simply search Hacker News directly.
Sounds like a myth.

Good design isn't primarily about UI research and one way mirrors. It's having a design vision for what you want to be, and how you communicate that to your users. Simplicity and ease of use are important factors too.
As this thread points out Google utterly fails at this. The top comment is "I have no idea how this thing works"
