So this is exactly the problem Google+ was designed to solve.

Don't want your entire friends list to see a post only share with with a specific circle.

Don't care to hear useless banter ? Don't include a person in your circle or turn down the volume on that circle. I had a good friend of mine from growing up who decided one day he was going to post nothing but memes. He went into the silent circle and I can check in on him every now and then if I so choose.
