Re:Poll: Are you using the G+ circles feature when posting? by btilly on Thursday July 14, 2011 @03:08PM (#2764527)
I've personally used private circles to categorize where and how I know people. So unless I want to blast a message out to such a group, I don't use circles for that content.

However I really, really would like to tag what I make public. As things stand I censor myself to only talk about things that I think are of more general interest. And this frustrates me to no end. If there were some option to categorize my public content and only send it to people who want it, I'd be using it in a heartbeat.

I SO agree with this comment. Is there anyone else out there who wants a 'tag and subscription' type post? I'd like to tag all my tech related posts with 'tech', and then anyone who wants to actually read them can click a checkbox on my profile that say's tech, and bam my tech posts will appear in there profile. Otherwise it won't pollute their stream.

Yes, the request has been made repeatedly. See https://plus.google.com/116872576248355504859/posts/gn3uQfCF... for proof that thousands of other people want it.
