CirclesCircles allow you to categorize your friends, family, and everyone else.
Why set up circles?Organization: As you connect with more and more people on Google Plus, it is nice to be able to remember how you connected with them.
Ease of Browsing:If you want to find recipes that are being shared, you can easily choose to look at just the updates from your Food Bloggers circle.
Targeted Sharing: You dont want to share vacation photos with your business contacts. Having your personal friends in a circle together makes it easy to ensure you can share your vacation photoswith only those you want to see them.

CommunitiesCommunities are groups that you can join. It is a great way to connect with other that have similar interests.
You can even create your own community.
Communities can have different privacy settings, depending on the group. This is useful if you want to limit the community to your school domain, or to some specific group of people.
