Google+ Creeps into GMail and Contacts. What next?
Google has integrated Google+ into Gmail and contacts in GMail. While it is already known that Google has been trying hard to spread Google+ usage, this integration can be considered so far the biggest step.
This new addition seems to be useful to those who have been enjoying Google+ and its circles. Mails can be filtered based on circles. Also your contacts can be directly added to your circles right from the inbox.
At first look at all this makes us feel that Google is trying to integrate Google+ into its products one by one. But it can also be considered as pulling the users of its products into Google+ .
Looking at all this, it can be said that it is not going to be too long before Google+ creeps into other services like Google Docs (with an option to share documents with friends in your circles).
But here raises the biggest privacy concern, For instance, the moment you start using Google+ from your inbox, any photo in a mail can be shared to Google+ with just one click. You now have your mail, picasa web albums, social network contacts all under one account and just think how safe it is to have all your eggs in one basket!
The only thing right now, Google+ falls short of is the number of users and Google seems to be treading all the paths to make sure that its brand new social network gets promoted.
