I don't know about other browsers but there are several Chrome extensions that will allow you to set a specific circle as your default view. So if you put people into a purgatory circle you'll not see them.

but will there be a "f**k" button?

My problem with facebook is every time they come up with a new "improvement" they automatically opt you into it. Instead of saying here's a new thing and here's how to use it if you want it.

I just bookmarked my Lot circle. That way I always see that first.

I haven't been on Google+ in days and I'm only noticing that now. :D

So just when I wanna spend more time on G+, it gets all wonky on me. (I'm guessing because everyone ELSE wants to be there too?) I somehow messed something up in my stream, or they're having a glitch. It'll give me friends' posts in real time, but it shows me only my posts prior to the time I load the page. And one page shows all my circles intact, but another page tells me I have no circles set up.

Anyone else having trouble like this?

I'm really attached to my Facebook, because most of my friends of 15+ years are there, but I'm starting to take a liking to Google+. The games are really neat, and I love the fact that I can just easily share things with certain circles without having to filter by list. It's a nice way to be more selective. :)

I've plussed myself!

Hopefully not in public: you get arrested for that.

I did that. The shame...
