As a FB equivalent, I believe "friends of friends" as a security setting is probably the same. My friends' friends. It doesn't seem like a "new" privacy setting, just a new name, to me at any rate.
So, for instance, on FB I have some of my profile info set to Friends of Friends, so that if Joe FirstBoyfriend sees me post on someone's status, and he's all "omg is that the girl I LUFFED in FIRST GRADE?" he can click to my profile and see that, yes, in fact it probably is. And we can reconnect and snicker over our endless (6 year old) love. ;) (Not that that has EVER HAPPENED or anything. :D )
That is my understanding of how Extended Circles works here as well - not the whole internet can see it, but people who are 1 degree from you can.
