I will never *ever* submit any list of email addresses / handles / names *of other people* to any service whatsoever. Basically because it isn't my data to disseminate.
I massively hate the fact that G+ has done this without explicit authority (though I should not have been as surprised as I was, I suppose.)
On all services, I find that they way to locate others is to post _on the initial service_ that I also have an account somewhere else (eg. a private-to-friends post here that I can be found on G+ or FB or Twitter under the name/handles XXX) but the easier way is that of finding 'nodes' - people who are connecting points in the social groups I am a member of, and using the links from them to relocate others.
The whole 'naming of names' thing brings its own problems, for instance I have used this handle online since the mid-1990s yet although I have a (rarely-used) twitter handle of this name, my FB and G+ usage has to be under another 'less real to some' name.
