Hi Folks

Custom friends filters

[antoniseb]

Right, well that's why G+ is still in Beta.

I am puzzled; they do have custom friend filters. If I want to send something to my close friends and to my acquaintances I just list both of those circles on the post -- do you mean something different?

[antoniseb]

What I'm lamenting is that I'd like to post things to public (be visible) without it going out as a message to certain circles.

My astronomer friends could care less about Commedia
My Improv friends could care less about Camelot

But I want to make the posts available for anyone.

Ah, so you want "[Public] - [Astronomers]." Hmm.

I don't have a good solution to that; it's a use case I hadn't thought of, but it's rather similar to some of the concerns that Siderea and Justin have posted about our different real-world personas.

I think I want to distinguish between able to see and put in your stream.

[ilaine_dcmrn]

you mean able for them to see, vs have in their stream?

I suspect it will work out to a combination of tagging on your part and filtering on theirs -- once google figures out such a feature is needed.
