Actually, I have tested this myself and have found that changing the privacy settings (like the screenshot you've provided) does not in fact apply towards the list. It's for all wall posts. For circleriot, all that you would need to do is add friends into your circles and that would be the end of it as far as maintaining your circles. Anything that you share within a circle will ONLY be viewed by the users who you choose.

Hmm good catch. :)
Overlapping circles is a feature in the works ;)
Sure a screenshot I can do. And update will come shortly :)
I'll make and update today to include screenshots on the sign up page.
Thanks, though some of the comments here are negative, they are still very helpful. Also, the CSS framework did start with blueprint but as the application progresses, so did the CSS and markup.
Thank you. Creating lists in Facebook only let's you filter news feed but doesn't allow you to post to them. With circles, not only can you filter out to just see friends in that circle but you can also post updates that will only be seen by them.
I'll look into it :)
About a month ago, there was a post here on hacker news about how Google was potentially working on a social networking site based around your circles. Turns out that it was just a rumor and that Google has no intention on working on such a site. I really liked the idea and it was something that i had personally been waiting for. Since Google had abandoned circles (or the idea of it at least) i then entertained the thought of rolling one out for me and my friends. So I started digging around on the subject and found Paul Adam's presentation "The real life social network" http://www.slideshare.net/padday/the-real-life-social-networ... and became fully inspired to create CircleRiot. One fun month later of just coding; i rolled out CircleRiot for me and my friends to enjoy. Needless to say they loved it. So now I thought i'd share this with hacker news hoping that you guys will enjoy it as well as we did. So enjoy! Feel free to leave feedback. I'm anxious to hear what you guys think of this.
Btw: this site is invites only. If you'd like to invite your friends, please send them the invite link that is created with your account. Thank you!
