Google Is it best to choose "Adding to Circles" or "Following"?

When I went through the training that suggested we set up a Google+ account, I don't remember it mentioning that when we add people to our account, whether to "Add to Circles" or "Following". I have been just "Following" all those I have added since I never created any Circles.

Today I clicked on one of the profiles of people I am "following" and when it came up to their profile it said something about the fact that they have nothing to share with me because I didn't have them in any of my circles.

Can you let me know if you put people in your circles or whether you follow them. Can you do both? I am only "following" people, and I'm really not sure what that means exactly.

I don't even know if I am using Google+ adequately. About all I do is put posts there. I don't see other people's posts, so are they not seeing mine, although a few have clicked "+1" on the bottom of some of my posts.

Thanks!
