everyone needs to calm down about vic saying g+ would support pseuds. they've been saying that for months, no specifics no timeline #nymwars

i'm not trusting g+ will support pseuds til i see it. or at least a decent explanation of HOW and a specific WHEN. #nymwars

@Skud The Mashable post makes me boggle. The statements from Gundotra in no way support the title, yet it's quoted everywhere.

agreed 100% RT @ScottMadin: I have little faith that they'll "support" them in a way that doesn't involve some kind of 2nd-class status.

G+ supporting "other forms of identity" could mean business accts, could mean pseuds linked to IDs that Google knows, THIS IS NOT VICTORY

@rbtbenterprises yes, quite. they've been saying "soon" and "a few months" for the best part of a year. colour me dubious.

@Meatwad650 no, we have empty promises, still. no timeline, no actual design specs. they've been saying EXACTLY THAT for months.

@Skud We said we are cautiously optimistic. We stand by that statement. @evacide

@jilliancyork @evacide the "VICTORY!" headline belies that.

RT @Swiftstories: Google+ will soon support pseudonyms, moving away from strict real name ID policy, says +Vic Gundotra at #w2s

interesting ... @lizthegrey's RT of @Swiftstories' tweet re: "g+ will support pseuds". THAT lends credibility. i trust liz more than vic.

@Skud Is liz one of Google's employees/officials?

@ZauberExonar liz is one of the google staff who works on G+ identities, yes. but she's not allowed to speak publicly about it.

Date: 2011-10-20 01:28 pm (UTC)I'm seriously disappointed that people who work for an organization that makes a point of being paranoid about privacy are so trusting over such little information.
Also, ditto what a couple previous posters have said about this being 1) not new news and 2) useless info until we see them -actually- implement it in a thoughtful, respectful way.

Date: 2011-10-20 08:13 pm (UTC)Second, even if we do see real nyms, I no longer trust Google to be a good steward of that information. They have enough info to tie anyone to anything, and they have now generated a history of not caring who they leak identity information to.
