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

- markokocic 15y agoRapportive already does that (and more) from Gmail
- msimr 15y agoYep 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.
- walrus 15y agoI 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.
- heyrhett 15y agoI wonder if Google is going to let an independent author keep the ++ name. That's some serious vanity name real estate.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoHuh? 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/++ http://google.com/profiles/++ linked to his profile; taking that away would be pretty ridiculous as well.)
