Many people, myself included, use Google Contacts as an online repository to store a personal address book for my family, friends and colleagues. That address book information will be accessible on your Google+ page, according to Google.

So instead of having to bounce over to Google Contacts to find someone's address or phone number, you can simply grab it within Google+ by clicking on the About tab in the person's profile and looking for the section labelled "Details from Google Contacts".

Of course, such information will be for "your eyes only", according to Google.

I checked out the feature with a few people in my address book, but didn't find their contact information in their Google+ profiles. Google did note that the roll-out isn't yet finished, so it may take awhile for the feature to spread out to all Google+ users.
