#3Am I the only one who can't figure out how to retrieve this? Is the underscore supposed to be replaced by my user ID? In that case I get only gibberish when I wget the page.
Edit: Nevermind that, figured it out through Inspect.

You need something like firebug or webkit's developer tools to get the content. If you're using Webkit: Click on the Network Tab, reload the page and wait. When it's done loading, click on XHR at the bottom. There you will see the path, and the contents.

I removed some of the parameters of the request, for safety reasons ... but if you use firebug while loading plus homepage you'll find it.

#6The scores seem to be in the same order as people are shown in the top-right corner, and on https://plus.google.com/circles
I only saw 5-6 different score values there, so most people are ranked the same.

Looking at the file, it strikes me that it doesn't seem to be quite what you think it is, namely a "relationship score" between Google+ users. People that I've never communicated with on Google+ but mailed previously have a score (and the people I've mailed most frequently have the highest scores), while people I've only communicated with on Google+ but never mailed don't have one (the fields are empty). Organizations that I've mailed also have scores, and they obviously don't have Google+ accounts.
It looks more like a "relationship score" for GMail that doesn't take into account Google+.

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this. Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm not a native English speaker, but I never meant to insinuate otherwise (after all, Google+ is very very young and the score should come from somewhere). I just wanted to share the fact that Google+ makes this score available.

Sorry for misinterpreting you. For the record, I'm not a native speaker either, which might be a source of confusion.

#10Facebook also does this, for example by analyzing which pictures you and a friend are both tagged in. Probably there are other signals like wall posts, likes, and profile views.
You can see the result of this by the order of friends in the search box.
