Ask HN: HN G+ circle is blowing up my gchat
I mean, I love y'all, but there's about 200 ppl in my chat list right now. On the plus.google.com page, wait for the little chat box to load in the lower-left. Click the tiny gray down-arrow next to the word "Chat" and click "Privacy settings". Pick "Custom" from the menu, and then only choose the circles you want to show up in chat.
