However, 52 people have added me. I do not feel more looped in to their lives. Further, of those 52 people, I do not know 4, which means 7.7% of people who think I’m in one of their circles for whatever reason (spam or otherwise) are not reciprocal friends per my count. Of the remaining 48 people, I wouldn’t even know where to begin with putting them into circles, because I don’t know what I would then do with these circles, and because many fall into multiple ‘categories’, and I’d surely miss someone and problems would ensue.

Google+ is proving very stressful for me, and I haven’t even done anything. I’m not writing it off as a product, but maybe it’s too futuristic in its simplicity for me.
