Circles make these things possible:

  • I can categorize people I follow
  • I can choose a particular category of people to "read" at any given time
  • I can choose a particular category of people to be allowed to view something I post
  • I can choose a particular category of people to notify of something I post

What they don't let you do:

  • categorize incoming posts (so you don't have to include or exclude everything someone lets you see)
  • let people categorize themselves (so they can determine which of my posts they want to see)

See also communities, for a G+ feature which addressed those missing features.
