adding to circle ought to default to an add

[denise]

[Suggestion made by OpenID user, reposted by moi.]

Summary:

"add to circle" ought to default to both "grand access" and "subscribe" checked, then let me uncheck one if i wish.

Description:

when i click add to circle, no boxes are checked by default. perhaps the most compelling argument can be made for having both checked by default (both grant access and subscribe). but at least one ought to be checked by defualt. lest why did i click "add to circule"?

I really like the way it is now, and would feel like I was being nudged intrusively towards a decision if one or more boxes were pre-checked.

But as it is now doesn't DO anything. All you're doing with that click is going to the screen that lets you actually do something. It's confusing.

"Add to Circle" is jargon, and it's not clear if the default should be to subscribe or grant access. It seems to me then that changing it to a 'Subscribe' link (which is the lower-risk click, and gives you that additional option to Grant Access', would help clarify.

I think I agree with this approach, dump the "add to circle" text, replace it with 'subscribe'.
