Google+ Update Connects Address Book Data, Friend Circles
Apparently, the ongoing privacy concerns surrounding
Google's new unified data strategy will not deter the company from aggressively
moving forward with features that merge your personal data to increase its
reach and impact. The Google+ team has announced a new feature that will now
display data from your personal contacts on the associated pages of people in
your circles.
"Many of you, like me, use Google Contacts to manage
your personal address book (contacts.google.com). If that's the case, then
starting today we'll include this contact info on your friends' Google+
profiles - for your eyes only, of course," said Google product manager
Sean Purcell.
