Google has learned the painful lesson of Buzz and has taken enormous pains to attend to privacy in the overall design and experience of the product.It’s very easy to add people and organize them into standard or customized groups (see list below). This is one of the things that immediately impressed me, as well as the attention to privacy and selective sharing. There’s lots of control over who sees what updates, etc. You’re also able filter all messages and updates by category to see only those from “friends” or “professional” contacts. On the Plus homepage you can click down the list and get selective views from each of your groups.
Users can create and manage groups (“Circles”) very easily once you understand how Plus is organized. This takes relatively little time.
