Everyme Circles are completely private, and everyone knows exactly who they're sharing with, whereas Google+ Circles are a confusing concept.

Everyme also uses your address book to do some amazing things, like magically create Circles such as family, co-workers, college friends, sweetheart etc., and then keep in touch with them using the address book (this means not everyone needs the app!).




What if I want some of my circles to be public and some to be private?


We don't offer public circles, since we're focusing on nailing private sharing. We want people to feel comfortable, so having a public option adds complexity.


As an aside, this comment is a great example of why Hacker News is a great resource for startups looking for good feedback.


Could you elaborate on how Google+ circles are confusing?


I could be in 1000 Google+ circles, but I would have no clue who else I'm in the circle with or what the circle is called. It's a very strange concept, and doesn't improve much upon private sharing (it's more of a lists feature). In Everyme Circles, everyone knows exactly who they're sharing with, because you can see all the content that is being shared.
