Here, in a nutshell: I want to offer public comments on the world of technology through Google +, but I do not want my incessant techno-talk to friends and family block + Google streams.
The limits of social networks
How do you keep separate the different facets of his life in social networks?
Separately. I do not want co-workers know about my children, my parents know my friends and my fans to know about my dental appointment.
It's a fuzzy line. Work, school and home are part of life, but I'm not saying everything everyone.
None. I am a person, not a split personality - if you do not like the package, do not follow me.

It was for this reason that last year I unplugged my Twitter and Facebook this year to my Facebook page freelancer.
I'm willing to cut Google, Twitter, and all other online service with a little slack here. It's really hard to create a product that can handle the dual roles of different people. Most of us have gotten used to having separate house and operation of e-mail addresses, for example. Facebook provides an ability to execute people linked personally and professionally.
I was hoping that Google, which boasts explicit about the ability of Google + 's handling of social networks, with both his boss and his family have handled the situation better. So far I think has the best start, at least in the circles.
The circles I specify a specific audience to receive a message, which is ideal for a note to coworkers, friends, or people who live nearby. But my direct messages - about my weekend trip in the family, for example - are very different from my public messages about topics such as Web browsers.
The only sensible way to manage work-related messages is to expose publicly. I want people to read them, after all, and certainly do not have time to manage an ever-expanding circle of people who presumably would be interested.
If they are public messages, however, that would carry my family and friends with the controversial security WebGL when all they wanted was to hear of the adventure with the drunken hooligan in Dover.
I do not pretend that my needs + Google represent the way most people use the service. But I do think there are many in my place - someone with a business to promote, for example, if it is a wedding photographer or freelance programmer or high profile technology executive.
