What about you? How do you manage your circles? Got any tips for the n00bs (and people like me who have kind of a mess going on, in ours)?
PS – I think I broked mine 🙁 I can’t move anyone from one, to another, now.

Circles revisited
In the beginning of g+ I started of by adding all the suggestions of Google and following people back, to get my stream started. I’ve put all those people in a Bulk circle, and distributed them to a variety circles from there, and finally finished with sorting through them just now, lol.
Now after using the system for … (how long?) I’ve discovered that most of those circles I don’t use most of the time anyway because I spend most of the time in the mainstream.
That’s why I put all the people I’m following now into a “Following” circle to keep them in my circles.
Apart from that I only have 4 circles which I check from time to time.
1) A Googler circle to make sure I don’t miss any update 😉
2) A Photographer circle to look at some nice photos.
3) A circle of Austrians to check if anything interesting is happening around me.
4) An albeit small circle of Real-Life Friends (spread all across the world)
And then I have some small special sharing circles which I use for private posts from time to time, but I’m posting mostly to public.
How has your usage of Circles changed over time?
