I'm starting to hit upon some interesting / funky issues with circling people in Google+. Without diving into a day-long testing process to figure it out myself, I'll throw it out here and see if anyone has answers.

1) I know of the 5,000 circle limit on the number of people you can follow, but today I seem to be hitting the daily limit on ads.

I think it is cumulative across all the +Pages connected to my account. Am I right?

I wish verified accounts (people and/or pages) could bypass this. I'm managing quite a few pages (not all on this account though) and I seem to hit the limit daily.

2) Google Contacts is my nemesis. Someday I will get to clear and organize that out, but right now it's a disaster and I can't seem to determine if 'business' contacts are getting dumped in the 'Other Contacts' in my personal gmail account.

Are the people that I circle via a +Page pushed over to my personal Google Contacts?

Currently, the maximum number of contacts that you can have in Google Contacts is 25,000 and I will blow through that pretty quick with the pages I have attached to my account.
