contacts

Once you're in the system, build up a network of contacts and then move through that rather than using the recruiters.

I don't use an iPhone, but on Android it sorts contacts based on how frequently you call them.

True, but I would like to know that my non-Google browser contacts Googles server every now and then.

Looks like part of the app shows latest social-media activity from contacts, and probably anything that touches those networks gets an automatic 12+.

Nobody's going to pull up their stakes for some new Facebook+ and maintain two accounts/profiles since half of their contacts don't want to bother.

You do know Mobile Carrier can actually use your sim card to get all your contacts anyway if they wanted to, also on any phone OS pretty much all apps wants access to your contacts anyway.

When I created my G+ account I expected to find features for adding/importing/inviting my FB contacts.

There is no choice but to sync contacts to the cloud.

You probably give right to access contacts to many apps, etc...

Have contacts with seats2meet and can also offer a free space.

Some times after you get used to the industry you have enough contacts to go direct, but initially an agent can really help you out.

My contacts have been following me around on my phone for 8 years now, why the heck shouldn't they be just as accessible from my PC?

For example, on my iPhone, I tried using an emoji such as "📞" (telephone receiver) in an entry from my contacts list, and sure enough that is allowed.

One strategy would have been to integrate Google+ into Google Contacts, Photos, Messaging, basically forcing people to integrate their social network into their phone and gmail contacts, messaging etc...
