Google+ question

[lightcastle]

I haven't had much chance to play with my Google+ account, so maybe someone can answer this for me. I understand one can make new circles and name them what they wish.

1) Can a contact be a member of more than one circle?

2) Does a contact see what circles of yours they are on?


(i.e. If I make a circle of Acquaintances called "Marks", can they still be in the Acquaintances circle, and do they see themselves listed as both Acquaintances and Marks?)

1) yes. My spouses are in two circles.

2) No. Only that they are in one of them.

Just to clarify, you mean "just that they are in a circle". (Which they have to be if they are on your Google+, correct?) They never know what you've called your circles.

[commodorified]

Correct. They never know which circle or circles they are in.

Specifically, if you go to the profile of a person who has added you to a circle, you will see the message "You are in X's circles [too]." The too gets added if you've been mutually encircled.
