Ok, so I hate to sound stupid, but when I’m on YouTube, I’ll have what I think is a message, but it actually says,  “Jane Doe has added you to her circle.”  Of course, Jane Doe isn’t a real name, but what does it mean?  Why does the internet have so many things on it with no explanation of why or what it’s for?  I’d like to know.  Why do we have to look to YouTube for someone to do a video explaining circles when the circle creators could just as easily explain it to us when we click on the person who wants to add us to their circle?  I know I’m out of touch when it comes to technology, but it’s really frustrating that these sites don’t feel any kind of explanation is necessary.  Here’s what I’d like to know–

1.  What is the purpose of circles?
2. What happens when you become part of one?
3. How do I look at the circles I’m in?
4. Why do I feel like YouTube would answer my questions?
5. Why am I fighting the need to go to YouTube to find my answers?

I guess number five is the problem.  I don’t want to have to go to a second website to understand the first one.  I guess I’m just stubborn, or old.  Probably both.
