Google Freshness Update

Google Freshness Update



Last week Google released yet another algorithm update, and although it wasn’t Panda 2.6 or Panda 2.5.2, it has affected up to 35% of searches. The newly-named ‘freshness update’ is built on the Caffeine update that was launched last year, allowing Google to provide the very latest content.

Google’s Amit Singhal states that

“Given the incredibly fast pace at which information moves in today’s world, the most recent information can be from the last week, day or even minute, and depending on the search terms, the algorithm needs to be able to figure out if a result from a week ago about a TV show is recent, or if a result from a week ago about breaking news is too old.”


This seems to be a very timely release, especially in the UK, with lots of hot topics currently trending on the web and on social media, including Frankie Cocozza being kicked off the X Factor, the England poppy fiasco and Carlos Tevez leaving Manchester. With all these topics trending across the web, the freshness update has provided us with the very latest information on the subject from the last day, hour or even minute. There has been a lot of information around about the freshness update and here is Google’s official announcement.

So we know that the algorithm will do the following:

  • Shows the lasted information on hot topics, trending stories and breaking news.
  • Provides the latest information on regular and upcoming events including concerts, Olympics, General Elections, etc.
  • Identify the very latest information on product releases, product reviews and information.


To determine how various websites were affected, Searchmetrics performed its analysis using its own SEO database, which ranks sites using its “SEO Visibility” metric. This metric is based on the search volume of a keyword, the type of search (informational, navigational or transactional) and the rank of the URL in question.

In the initial list of winners and losers (see below), Searchmetrics provides the previous SEO Visibility for the sites as of October 30th and the current rank as of November 6th. The percent change is also indicated on the far right, while the type of site is on the far left.

Understand the basics for better website performance


In today’s world, a website is considered as a powerful and ultimate sales tool that opens your business into the world. A website increases your market presence acting as an effective PR tool. Nowadays websites are designed with multi purpose in mind like high rich user experience, ecommerce functionality, easy navigation and various factors. To achieve public awareness and high return on investments, just setting up a website is not enough. You will need to frame certain website goals in terms of its performance that will transform your website into very good sales tool.

Different factors that affect your website performance:

  1. Website Content – Quality Content
  2. Attractive Design of the Website
  3. Website Speed
  4. Browser Compatibility
  5. Regular website updates
  6. SEO, External and Internal Linking and many other related factors.

For retailers, who want to make business out of their website should develop their website as a sales and marketing tool. It needs to make the visitors buy your product, to make people to remember your website and come back again, to provide valuable information that will convince your customers and business partners. To learn about your website functioning, monitor its performance regularly. For retailers it doesn’t matter how many visitors make their way into your website, what matters is how many visitors make a purchase.

Here is a important stats that might benefits the retailers. According to Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, web sales grew 31.3 percent in 2010 to $1.89 billion and accounted for 25 percent of the company's total sales. Brick-and-mortar shopping experience for the Web says that retailers are doing a better job of delivering a high-quality user experience. There has been shakeup in website speed category and rankings in terms of reliability when compared to last year. This shows that how important Google values user experience in website.

Retailers should compare their website with a normal store. People walk into a store, ask questions, enquire about various products and eventually end up buying them only when they are convinced. Similarly people come to know about your product through various online resources, seek reviews about your product, if they are convinced about your product they end up buying it.

There are various online advertising possibilities available some free, some paid. Choose whatever works well for you. Don’t just blindly put a bulk of money on Google Adwords or any PPC Campaigns. Do a little research about the conversion rates they provide before investing in them.

Don’t start an advertising campaign if your website is not designed as a marketing or sales tool. For example your website should have a good logo, list the awards your business has got, list the benefits your product or service brings, show people why they need to buy your product, provide a demo or a free trial and don't forget about the customer support.

More than everything discussed above, your website should look like a professional one with quality content. No customer will buy a product from an improper website that looks sluggish. Also provide an easy navigation to product pages so that users can find your products in one or two clicks.

Also optimize all your web pages with proper title tags, description and keywords to gain SEO benefits. It is very important that your website does not have any dead links and images. Finally always be prepared to make changes if you don't get the expected results in certain period of time.

5 Things Google Plus Can Do to Outbox Facebook

It's been a desirable year within the social networking area, as heavyweight champion Facebook fends off some solid blows from muscley contender Google plus. but over the past week, it has been nearly all Facebook - with the discharge of the Subscriber button and vastly improved lists (akin to Google plus "circles"). This week, or maybe I ought to say spherical, is additionally shaping up to be a giant one for Facebook. Its annual developer conference F8 is on this Thursday in San Francisco. in step with uber-blogger Robert Scoble, "Facebook has one among its biggest releases ever returning in the week." ReadWriteWeb are going to be at F8 to hide no matter massive punches Facebook delivers.

Meanwhile the Google plus team has been fairly quiet lately, apart from the announcement of a (limited) API last week. Here are 5 things we tend to want Google plus would do, each to boost its still nascent product and to form Facebook stagger to a small degree against the ropes!


1. Automate creation and maintenance of Circles.

This has been my most wanted drawback with Google plus thus far: the massive quantity of effort it takes up front to form circles of individuals (a.k.a. friends lists) and then the continued problem of maintaining them.

Facebook showed the means forward for Google plus, by launching improved - and semi-automated - friends lists last week. Facebook currently automatically creates lists primarily based on your location, workplace and one or two a lot of bits of knowledge from your profile. It's still comparatively easy and not perfectly implemented. however it is a damn sight higher than ranging from scratch, that Google plus causes you to do.

2. Add a special search box for Google plus.

While any public content on Google plus may be searched using normal Google search, any non-public post or knowledge regarding Circles is hidden from Google.com. The Google plus team is aware of this can be one thing their users wish, thus it's possible they are acting on an inside Google plus search as we tend to speak. it'll be a good addition when it finally happens, as a result of neither Facebook or Twitter will an honest job archiving and surfacing previous posts.

Twitter contains a notoriously short memory, whereas Facebook has (up until now) been happy to form its users 'live within the moment.' a good Google plus search can build Facebook reassess that, as a result of suddenly Google plus would become quite a memory bank for its users. The success of Evernote - a note-taking app that markets itself as an "online brain" - is an indicator that social networks would like a extended memory.

3. Open up the API!

The Google+ API is restricted to public knowledge, thus external developers will not be ready to faucet into non-public knowledge or info regarding Circles. it is a no-brainer to eventually open it up and also the Google plus team has stated this may happen. provided that the complete Facebook platform is based on third party developers accessing non-public info regarding users, this cannot return soon enough for Google plus if it desires to rapidly build its platform.

(If you are not certain what I mean by third party apps accessing your non-public Facebook knowledge, simply recall what percentage times you have clicked "yes" to an online app that requests to be ready to write to your Facebook wall and seemingly do something it else it pleases along with your knowledge.)

Update: Google engineer can Norris questioned the higher than statement, in Google plus of course: "remind me once more why it's in users' best interest to rush out and enable that on Google+." My response: it's in users' interest as a result of they will get a large amount of nice third party apps that do wonderful things with their knowledge. (and yes I admit it is a double-edged sword)

4. Hurry up with pages for brands.

It's common data that Google plus is functioning on implementing pages for brands, which is able to be kind of like Facebook Pages. i might prefer to see these pages be far more simply surfaced and arranged in Google plus than they're with Facebook. I usually realize myself 'liking' a complete page on Facebook, then never beholding it once more as a result of it's hidden away. Why cannot I place my favorite complete pages in my main Facebook menu? Why cannot I add it immediately to an inventory once I 'like' it (instead of getting to manually attend the list and place the new Page into it, that is time consuming).

Google plus has the chance to form far more user friendly complete pages, which is able to solely profit each users and types.

5. Realize how to entice my family and non-geeky friends onto Google and.

This may be the foremost necessary challenge that Google plus faces if it's actually reaching to challenge Facebook. whereas Google plus contains a fervent base of early adopter users, it hasn't managed to draw in mainstream folks nevertheless. i do not have any statistical proof of that, however you merely got to cross-check who you are interacting with on Google plus. on behalf of me it's all trade folks, that makes for a good social network if you would like to debate work matters. that is why Robert Scoble loves Google plus such a lot.

So far just one of my relations is using Google plus - my iPad 2-toting brother. And he is using it mainly to form humorous references regarding the shortage of individuals he is aware of on Google plus. In distinction, all of my immediate family and an honest portion of my nuclear family uses Facebook. Sure, it took years for all to arrive there. however the purpose is, Google plus has to eventually realize how to entice them onto its service. or even the very fact that Google plus are going to be such an intricate a part of the longer term Google product line (search, e-commerce and thus on) is what is going on to eventually get my family and others using and.

Those are five things i might like to see from Google plus, as soon as doable. i have not even mentioned the massive grievance from recent weeks: Google plus does not permit folks to pick out user names that are not their real names. This has been a controversial issue and it too has to be resolved.

What else does one suppose Google plus ought to do so as to stay the pressure on Facebook? And by the means, this 'battle' is nice news for us customers - because it forces each corporations to offer us what we're clamoring for. and that we will not mind if a little of bigco blood gets spilled within the method.

Google Improves iOS App for Google Plus

Google is on a roll, not sitting idly by while Facebook has its moment in the media spotlight. After opening its Google+ social network to the public — gaining an additional 10 million users in its first two days — now the search giant follows Tuesday’s Android update of Google+ with a similar refresh to its iOS version, now available free on the App Store [iTunes link].

What’s new? Like its Android cousin, the iOS version of the Google+ mobile app now supports Hangouts, letting groups communicate with each other using front-facing cameras on the iPhone 4 and iPod touch. In addition to Hangouts, the app offers better control of its various notifications, and a renamed Messenger (formerly Huddle) that now lets users attach photos to chat threads.

Other niceties include the ability to +1 in comments, improved +mention support, a map view in Profile for places you’ve lived, and various reliability improvements. Macstories‘ Federico Viticci had a chance to try out the new features in Hangouts — take a look at his experience here.

Other notable tech things on the list included mobile phones, that ranked tenth, on top of laundry machines and showers (people would apparently well be connected than clean); flat screen TVs, that ranked thirty first, right on top of "wedding ring" (which might justify the high divorce rate); and laptops, that because the variety twenty six item managed to outrank chocolate.

Here's the full list:

  • Sunshine

Google+ is the Best Place for SEO

Google+ is the best place for SEO




Robert Scoble told me this big secret: Google+ is the best place for SEO, here is the reason:

Because, let’s be honest, Google has one huge stick: search. If you would like your words, images, or videos to be out there in Google search you would like to place them within the places which will be rewarded best by Google.

That place is Google+.

And that’s the rationale why Robert Scoble need everyone leaves Google+

So, if everybody left Google+ that will leave the simplest SEO technology out there to simply, well, him. which suggests his videos, blogs, and photos would seem higher on search than yours.

Which means his world-domination media plans would work.

googleplusnews

Conductor, an SEO technology and intelligence company, has added Google +1 social analytics tracking to its suite. The inclusion of Google +1 tracking reflects a high demand from webmasters for Google's new social platform and its connected tools.

googleplusnews

Conductor's Social Analytics

The newly updated version of Conductor's social tracking (Conductor Searchlight) includes Facebook likes, shares, and clicks; Twitter mentions; LinkedIn shares; and Google +1s. Users may make the most of the platform to look at the social success of competitors.

"Social media promoting has become one in every of the foremost talked concerning sides of natural search promoting, with many business studies citing correlation between social indicators and prime rankings," stated Seth Besmertnik, CEO of Conductor. The inclusion of +1 is efficacious in understanding each the potential organic search ranking impact of +1s and a booming interest within the new platform.

It's expected that Google +1 are going to be integrated into different social tracking platforms, whereas each Conductor and different similar firms are continuing to delve deeper into tracking each social feedback and its correlation to organic ranking.

The Growing Demand for Google +1

Search Engine Watch talked with Rob Rozicki, Director of Product promoting at Conductor, to examine what insights the company's early-stage tracking might lend to the present state of Google plus and therefore the +1 button. in keeping with Rozicki, social is obtaining significantly a lot of attention currently than it did a year or 2 ago.

"In all of our discussions with customers, social could be a topic," he said. "Most CMOs and most search engine marketers bring it up as a part of interest."

Webmasters are among the primary to actually get into Google +1; the button itself gained major popularity right out of the gate. in keeping with HubSpot, there is sensible reason for webmasters to follow this trend: sites with the +1 button received over 3 times the maximum amount exposure on the Google and network.

It's a bet on a current horse when it involves Google's social baby. However, since Google Plus has already set the world's record for being the fastest growing web site, it isn't a nasty bet.

"It's positively the first days" for Google +1, Rozicki said. "We're not seeing the volumes of +1s that we tend to are in Facebook Likes or Twitter shares." However, "there's enough buzz and Google has enough clout that we're assured that [...] we're planning to see several a lot of Google +1 likes within the future."

The doubtless barrier, in keeping with Rozicki, boils right down to the age of the button.

"People are not understanding +1 simply nevertheless," he said. However, as individuals begin to trust the button and see what they will get out of it, the worth for users is probably going to select up. Webmasters are currently making an attempt to organize for what several read as an inevitable boom within the popularity of the Google +1 button and therefore the young social network it's hooked up to.

Google +1 and social activity is additionally trackable with new reports in Google Webmaster Tools and Google Analytics

Google Social Networking Google Plus Launches Gaming Channel

Google Plus Launches Gaming Channel


Ever since the launch of Google Plus, the search giant has been trying to convince the world that Facebook is old news. One of the ways it's attempting to do this? By showing off how it's able to do all the things Facebook was able to do, albeit with a cleaner, more minimalist interface. With the rise of "Farmville," gaming has become a big part of Facebook, and, starting today, it's now a big part of Google Plus. Gaming, I mean...not "Farmville." Yet.

Google Plus Games is a free service available to anyone with a Google Plus account. At present, there are 16 games, many of which have already made a splash on Facebook. Familiar titles like "Bejeweled Blitz" and "Zynga Poker" are joined by the Google Plus-compatible versions of "Angry Birds" and "Diamond Dash."

Google Plus

As with Facebook, users need to grant games access to their profiles before playing them. This usually amounts to giving those games access to friends lists, but automatic updates on profile pages can be deactivated if you'd rather not constantly bug your friends with the success of your digital moon base.

"Angry Birds" takes social a step further, introducing a new series of levels called Teamwork. Having more friends playing "Angry Birds" through Google Plus will allow you to unlock more levels. The game also tracks the total number of stars your friends have earned, as a means of unlocking even more content.

It'll be interesting to see just how far Google is going to go with its gaming initiatives. Right now it seems like it's more following the pack than blazing its own trail, but that could change drastically as Google Plus Games matures.

Randi Zuckerberg Leaves Facebook for RToZ Media


Facebook Director of Marketing Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of founder Mark Zuckerberg, has decided to leave Facebook to start her own company.

Randi Zuckerberg Social Media Firm Name As RtoZMedia and website address is http://www.rtozmedia.com/. Follow her @ http://twitter.com/#!/R2ZMedia

Randi Said, “My goal is to launch my own innovative programming and work with media companies to develop their programming in new and more social ways,” Zuckerberg wrote. “In attacking this challenge, Facebook will clearly be a central element in all of my projects. I plan to demonstrate that anyone can do groundbreaking media work on the platform.”

Zuckerberg’s first child was born several months ago, and she has been on maternity leave from Facebook. While we can imagine that starting your own company while raising a young infant is quite a juggling act in itself, we’re sure the pace will be somewhat easier on the family’s schedule.




Here is the letter and also a video I did with her last year when Zuckerberg was covering the Golden Globes in Beverly Hills for Facebook early last year.

8/3/11

Dear Sheryl and Elliot:

I've decided my time at Facebook is coming to a close.


When I think about the projects I'm most proud of during my six years at the company, they all have one thing in common –they revolve around the intersection of traditional media & social technology:

• the ABC News/Facebook Presidential Primary Debate in 2008 (first network televised debate to include social media)
• the CNN/Facebook Inauguration Partnership in 2009 (fueled a multi-billion dollar industry
around live streaming)
• The ABC/Facebook Live Election Night Coverage in 2010 (received an Emmy Nomination)
• The Davos/Facebook partnership which made The World Economic Forum accessible to millions of people
• The launch of Facebook Live, culminating less than a year later in a Town Hall with President Obama in 2011.

I have spent my years at Facebook pouring my heart and soul into innovating and pushing the media industry forward by introducing new concepts around live, social, participatory viewing that the media industry has since adopted. We have made incredible progress, but there is still much to be done and other ways I can affect change. Now is the perfect time for me to move outside of Facebook to build a company focused on the exciting trends underway in the media industry.


I'm proud of what I've done here and the people I have had the chance to work with. But I know I'll be able to do just as much or more for Facebook once I'm on the outside. My goal is to launch my own innovative programming and work with media companies to develop their programming in new, and more social ways. In attacking this challenge, Facebook will clearly be a central element in all of my projects. I plan to demonstrate that ANYONE can do groundbreaking media work on the platform. And to the extent it makes sense for you, I'd be happy to advise Facebook on media projects, “Facebook Live” or other initiatives if it is desired.


As I end this chapter of my career, know that I leave with a deep love for Facebook and I value the experiences I have had here immensely. Be assured I will continue to be a strong, vocal evangelist for the most incredible social platform ever created. I am thankful for the strong mentorship, guidance, and support, which is empowering me to follow my dreams and show that you don’t have to be an engineer to be a hacker.

Thanks for everything. If you need to reach me email at my new company is best, Randi@RtoZMedia.com.

How to Add a Google +1 Button to Your Site?

Google +1 Button to Your Site

Google +1 button preview






Adding a Google +1 button on your page is a simple matter of copying and pasting snippets of code into two places on your webpage.

You can go to a Google Webmaster Central page on Google.com that will generate for you the code snippet that would enable you to add the Google +1 button on your web page.

There you can select from four different sizes of the button. The standard size is 38 x 24 pixels. But if your page has a lack of space, you can generate a smaller Medium button that is only 32 x 20 pixels wide, or the smallest Small button that is 24 x 15 pixels wide.

By default, the button will include the display of the “click count” which will require more space than the mentioned dimensions. However for each of these three sizes, you can go into the advanced options and uncheck the “include count” checkbox so as to not take up extra space by not displaying the click count. Or perhaps you simply don’t want people to see displayed on your page how many times your button +1 button was clicked. (The largest Tall size button will always include the click count.)

After you have made your selections, you will see that Google has provided you two lines of code to be placed into different places on your webpage. This code will be the same code even for different pages on your site — provided that you are not using the advanced options of “URL to +1″ or “JS callback function” (which typically you do not need to).

Google Plus Should Provide Four Important Things


Saturday’s Google+ user account deletion purge plunged the new social network into a crisis of user trust. The community needs it fastened.

Saturday’s deletion of multiple Google+ user accounts spanned from well-known tech figures to standard netizens. it had been ostensibly over Google Plus’ enforcement of using so-called “real names.”

Google+ remained silent, and combined with contradictory actions over the weekend it’s currently a trust trainwreck, a growing PR shadow and a textbook-case community management nightmare.

Other social networks are currently most likely laughing into their morning occasional, whereas Google+ users are most definitely each furious and frightened.

Google+ isn't warning users before deleting user accounts, and a few folks have reported being locked out of all Google services, together with docs and Gmail.

Google+ has told some users they'll currently solely use the names on their government ID’s for his or her and profiles. Currently the policy asks that your show name is what your “friends, family, and coworkers” decision you. Requiring ID appears to contradict the stated policy.

Google PLus
Some users were able to notice favor with Google staff off of Google+ and have their accounts restored. Privileged Plussers like celebrity Arianna Huffington got the immediate and private restoration of her account by a Google+ Community Manager whereas others were told to hunt facilitate in forums or submit letter of invitation for review.

By Sunday, entire posts on Google+ became dedicated to documenting double-standards users witnessed.

Ex-Google staff were deleted. Writers, musicians, programmers and a lot of were deleted. And if you elected to edit your name you required to be terribly, terribly careful to not raise suspicion otherwise you were flagged for deletion in addition.

Sunday evening, folks began tweeting that they were voluntarily deleting their Google+ profiles as a pre-emptive, “no thank you” live.

Robert Scoble remarked, “Google is digging a deep hole here, not due to the principles, however due to how they're implementing them.”

But it's the concept of forcing users into identifying their legal names to the general public as a demand to use the social network that has folks angrier at Google than I expected.

Google+ user Todd Vierling revealed that programmer “+antimatter fifteen” who created many extensions for Chrome and ChromeOS together with “Cloud Save” and “CrOS Save” and “Surplus” for Google+ had his Google+ account suspended for - yes - employing a pseudonym “to shield his personal identity and safety.”

Google+ has left users thus within the dark that individuals are going out of their thanks to produce solutions for Google Plus’ drawback. Some are brazenly calling for Google+ leadership to be accountable and restore accounts.

Google Suspends Million of Google Plus Accounts?


A hanging variety of Google+ accounts are deleted within the last twenty four hours because the new social network struggles with its community standards policy around real names - alienating and horrifying the individuals it aims to serve.

Removed however restored through influence is Limor Fried - AKA girl Ada / Adafruit Industries: She was recently featured on the quilt of WIRED Magazine.

Google suspended Limor Fried “Ladyada” Google+ profile, no show-and-tell tonight… http://adafru.it/b16793

Her account has simply currently been mysteriously restored, though solely when a groundswell of complaints. Suffice it to mention, the remainder of the deleted accounts won't have such well-placed benefits.

Many have currently been purged and not restored.

The message I received this morning from the supply in my previous Google+ article summarized it,

Google+ suspended my acct “After reviewing your profile, we tend to determined the name you provided violates our Community Standards.”

After consequent few messages repeating an equivalent issue, it absolutely was clear that the dam had burst and Google+ is on an account suspension rampage.

Just Like Facebook’s Real Name Hypocrisy

Ex-Google employee Kirrily “Skud” Robert. Irony? the previous Google employee that originally applauded Google Plus’ statements concerning real names had their account suspended. Kirrily “Skud” Robert writes in I’ve Been Suspended From Google+:

So today, I got off a plane this afternoon to seek out a pile of tweets, emails, and blog comments asking whether or not it absolutely was true that my Google+ account had been suspended. after I managed to induce some wifi and check, it turned out that it had been.


They are asking the ex-employee for ID verification. Kirrily “Skud” Robert continues,

It then asks me for my name (uh, don’t you recognize that already?), email (ditto), link to my profile (ditto), and asks me to supply documentation. I will either offer them a scan of my photo ID (obscuring “personal information”, no matter that means), or links to places on the net that demonstrate that this is often my name.


They recommend using Facebook (the web site that enables Google founder Sergey Brin to travel beneath a pseudonym, and whose own founder contains a page for his dog) as proof. I actually have one thing higher, though, as a result of I expected this to happen and that i had already collated my proof. I linked to that page and submitted the shape.


It raised a chilling spectre within the background concerning what happens, exactly, when Google suspends your account.

Bill Noble writes,

To be clear, the stories we’re hearing to this point are of individuals being suddenly frozen out of EVERYTHING, all their information and resources, not only 1 or a couple of Google functions. Given who we tend to early adopters are, even a couple of a lot of days of this unreasonable behavior might abort the complete G+ effort.


Others are indicating uneven application of punitive measures:

When my account was suspended it absolutely was solely my profile. I might still get to Documents, Calendar and Gmail. My G+ Stream was still updating, I simply couldn’t post to it.


Madge Weinstein simply tweeted,

simply happened to me- however they not solely suspended gplus, however rather all google services incl gmail! The notice simply said i violated TOS- nothing specific.


Multiple Account Sign-In Breakdown?

It is not an easy matter of employing a “real name” - the maximum amount of a problematic gray space as that's. Another person cited in my Google+ article has currently had their account deleted for the straightforward reason that they were using Gmail and Google+ with multiple account sign-in:

this is often tremendously disappointing for a range of reasons, not least that the multiple linked login functionality created G+ near to good for what i want. i used to be an enormous proponent of and inspired several friends to come back over here.


Oh, and for clarity: there was nothing like objectionable content within the suspended account. I merely have details of my life that i might prefer to place in my PROFILE that I don't care to share with all my contacts. Details that reach beyond Google’s privacy controls for Profiles.


Meanwhile, this chilling post is creating the rounds on tech messageboards today:

Dear Google, i might prefer to bring to your attention a couple of things before I disconnect permanently from all of your services.

On July fifteen 2011 you turned off my entire Google account. You had completely no reason to try to to this, despite your automated message telling me your system “perceived a violation.” I didn't violate any Terms of Service, either Google’s or account specific ToS, and your refusal to supply me with any proof otherwise makes me completely sure of this. and that i would really like to bring to your attention what quantity harm your carelessness has done.

My Google account was tied to almost each product Google has developed, which means that I lost everything in those accounts likewise. i used to be additionally within the method of consolidating everything into my one Google account. (…)


To say that this issue is deeply regarding is an irony to anyone and everybody that has their businesses and private lives tied to Google services and have an interest in collaborating in Google+ - even Limor Fried was collaborating as herself.

A.V. Flox, occasional contributor to the LA Weekly, LA Times’ BrandX, Village Voice Media and section editor at BlogHer has simply had her account suspended likewise.

Well known nerdcore rapper Doctor widespread lost his account nowadays - like girl Ada, he’s additionally a temperament in tech circles, and a Laughing Squid contributor. He tweeted,

It seems my Google+ profile has been suspended as a result of it lists my name as Doctor widespread rather than Brian Roberts. Totally lamehole.


Would they are doing an equivalent to girl Gaga? Currently there are multiple girl Gaga accounts.

Personally, I doubt it.

Kirrily “Skud” Robert is currently compiling a database of these who have had their accounts deleted over alleged name violations. If you've got had your account deleted you'll be able to contribute info at the Suspended Google+ Accounts page.
