One of the most sought after feature in Google+ is an address book uploader. Why? mainly because Facebook is blocking third party apps like “Friend Exporter” from migrating data to Google+. So as an alternative, Google will now allow you to upload contacts in the standard CSV or vCard formats manually.

Presently, adding friends from other sites is a herculean task as you have to either rely on buggy exporters or manually type in email-id’s of all your friends.

“Many email systems— and even some social networks — put users in charge of their own data by helping them export their contacts in the standard CSV or vCard formats.” wrote Google+ Product Manager Rohit Khare. He says their uploader won’t mix your imported contacts up with all of your other Google Contacts.

The feature comes after Google opened up itself for feedback and criticism from early adopters. In its other update, users will be able to set the privacy setting of their gender on their Google+ Profile from later this week.

This was sooner than expected. Within a week of the arrival of Google+, Google has suspended its Realtime service to include the results of its social service into realtime results. Google tweeted this news on its official Realtime Twitter account today. Even though the service is accessible, it currently shows a 404 error page. Link for Realtime is missing in left bar as well as in news results.

Google in its tweet said,”We’ve temporarily disabled google.com/realtime. We’re exploring how to incorporate Google+ into this functionality, so stay tuned.”

Realtime currently accounts data from Twitter and Facebook for live-on-the-scene results. What would be interesting though is the percentage of allocation each service would get once Google+ is incorporated.

One thing that is presently missing in Google+ is profiles for brands and organizations. If news reports are to be believed, businesses and brands will soon be able to launch their profiles on Google+ as the company is working on a feature that would will be similar to Facebook Pages. Google’s head of Commerce and Local Jeff Huber confirmed this news after he commented about this feature in Mike Blumenthal’s blog. He wrote,”And pre-emptively answering a question — yes, we will have (smb) business profile pages on Google+. I can’t announce a launch date yet, but we want to make them *great*, and we’re coding as fast as we can.”

Google group product manager Christian Oestlien told SearhEngineLand that the company in future might enable Google+ to support businesses and brands. He added,”The things that matter for an individual user aren’t the same things that matter for businesses and we want to make sure both have a great experience in Google+.”

Google presently discourages people to create business profiles. Google+’s terms clearly states that Google Profiles doesn’t support profiles for couples or groups of people. Additionally, you can’t create a profile for a non-person entity such as a pet or business.

The service is still under beta phase and soon you will be able to search you queries by voice on Google Chrome browser, as heard the service is supported to almost all version of Google’s English language search over next coming days. You could have glance of this new service below provide video.

It’s easy to search out loud. All you need is Google Chrome 11 or higher and a built-in or attached microphone. Just click the mic in the search bar and start talking.

“Today, +1’s will start appearing on Google search pages globally,” Google Product Manager Nick Radicevic announced on Google’s AdSense blog.

“We’ll be starting off with sites like google.co.uk, google.de, google.jp and google.fr, then expanding quickly to most other Google search sites soon after.”

In addition to an international rollout on search result pages, Google is expanding its rollout of the +1 button on websites across the world. The company announced partnerships with several publications, including The Telegraph, The Independent, Last.fm, SnapDeal, and El Pais.

Google launched the +1 button last month as an attempt to increase its presence on the web. The button acts much like the Facebook Like or Twitter Tweet button. The company says it may use +1 data as a signal for improving search results in the future.
