Google+ is receving some very positive reports and user numbers are reportedly already well above 10m but I feel Google is missing a very obvious trick that would give it a significant differentiator.

I’ve been trailing RockMelt, a Chromium based browser that has Facebook integration. Its far from the finished article but is a big step forward in making the whole web social rather that users having to be on the facebook website in order to share and interact with friends.

Google could and should produce an extension for their Chrome browser that incorporates their sexy new black bar into the browser with a few extra Google+ functions. A share button that posts the site you are currently viewing without having to leave it. The ability to post to Stream, again without leaving the page you are currently on.
