Should I get circle contacts?

If I add contacts to my circles who don't have a Google+ account, will they get an email every time I post something that is visible to the circle that they are in?

  • Answer:

    No.  They only send notifications when you have responded in their stream, or if you are mentioned there. Also, if someone adds you to circles, you get a notification. If you have been mentioned in a string of comments, you will also get notifications. If someone mentions your name, singularly, you will get a notification. And if you just won a million dollars, you will be notified. But not by me. You will be notified by the ghost of Ed McMahon.

No; only if you select a specific circle you are given the option to email any members of the circle not yet on G+. You will not be sending emails non-stop when you share to circles or extended circles.

Not unless you want them to. When you share something with circles that contain people not yet using Google+, a check box appears below the list of people you're sharing with with the text "Also email x people not yet using Google+" That box is unchecked by default.
