Twitter Circles are here for everyone.Screenshot: TwitterIt’s all happening at Twitter: Not only is the bird app testing an edit button for paid users, but it’s also rolled out Twitter Circles, a way of limiting post visibility that’s reminiscent of something Google Plus tried to do all those years ago. Unlike the edit option, Circles isn’t exclusive to Twitter Blue subscribers, and everyone should be able to access the feature now (or in the very near future).The idea is that maybe you don’t want all of the friends,…
