++ a chrome extension for Google+

It found 9 people on this thread

Worked great for me. Nice work man.

I wonder if Google is going to let an independent author keep the ++ name. That's some serious vanity name real estate.

Huh? You mean the name of the Chrome extension? I think it would be kind of hard to argue that he's not allowed to use "++" as a name.

(At first I thought you meant http://google.com/profiles/++ linked to his profile; taking that away would be pretty ridiculous as well.)

Deleted comment

Because "This extension extracts the Google+ profiles of the people whose names appear on the page you visit."

Rapportive already does that (and more) from Gmail

Yep but I wanted something that would quickly give me links to people in the articles I read. My approach is a bit trickier since I also get user names inside the content of the article.

I think you may have taken my comment out of context. The [deleted] post I replied to was asking why the extension was asking for so many permissions.

Definitely gonna try this as I browse the web. Should turn up interesting results/people. Nice work!

just brilliant!
