I have already discussed Circles, the pros and cons of Circles, and why I am not a huge fan of the Circle interface. One aspect that hasn’t yet been discussed, though, during this 30 Days With Google+ is the fact that I can follow other Google+ users who I am fairly sure have no intention of adding me to a Circle to read anything I might share.

It seems a little like cyber-stalking. Basically, I can add users that I have never met, and who don’t know me from the proverbial Adam, and read their status updates and the information they share. Not only can I, but Google+ encourages it by providing a Following Circle by default. There is a significant caveat, though–I only see the Google+ posts those users choose to make public.
