"Search results
Your name and any other fields you make public in your profile are searchable on the web and may appear in Google Search results."
"Public profile information
You choose what information in your profile you want to make visible to specific individuals, to circles, or to everyone"
That's the whole point of Circles... You're asked to setup these settings for every single field...
Yeah I know PR is the way they build from the ground up but I really hope this is not the way FB wants to fight back...
Put your face on "admin" "in Products", every other single post has a real name behind it...
