Interesting design decision to hide the connection's address until you send them an email. It at least notifies the recipient that you now know their address.

Interesting design decision to hide the connection's address until you send them an email. It at least notifies the recipient that you now know their address. And the recipient gets the sender's address in exchange. It shows that Google has some concern for privacy here… but does it actually do anything? Why hide the addresses in the first place?
I wonder how it interacts with "undo send" …

- 3JPLW 13y agoAhh, that makes much more sense now. Thanks for the clarification.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> Interesting design decision to hide the connection's address until you send them an email. That's not what the article says. It says that it hides your email address until you send the connection an email (and, conversely, hides the connections email address until they send you an email): Quote: The good news is that your email address isn’t visible to a Google+ connection unless you send him or her an email. The reverse is also true: his or her email address isn’t visible to you unless he or she sends you an email.
