Cue millions of people using fake names/fake pictures...
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
so it will probably be banned or blocked here in Canada since we have all these new fancy privacy laws...they should spend some time getting chrome browser on android or something useful and productive
they keep this up theyll be the next RIM
First step on a slippery slope to no privacy. If I wanted that I'd just use facebook.
Isn't it just saying your name is only required to show? I mean, isn't that exactly how FB operates for private pages? Big deal.
the whole point is that they don't want to be facebook. it's for social networking, not social cliqueing.
This makes no sense. Google+ has done a remarkable job of making sure you can set individual privacy settings for EVERYTHING. For example, I enjoy that I can share my phone number... with only my actual friends (in case they lose their phone, etc.).
Google is not going to suddenly start eliminating those privacy options. They don't need to. They have access to all your data regardless of your privacy settings, and that is all they need to target you with ads
Why do people care when it is ONLY name and gender? That doesn't even include location...
Really the *only* privacy thing I wish they would add would be different profile pictures for different Circles
I was all for this....and then this.
Regardless, I'm probably no more private about who I am or what I do online that anyone else. But to think that I don't have the option. Thats what bothers me. Facebook at least tells me when its making me drop my drawers, Google just assuming I want to run around pantless waiting for a shafting.

On FB it does not state anything about deleting your profile, just deactivate .At least google+ will delete your profile, Facebook fights tooth and nail to not delete your profile and even once deleted if you log back in it reactivates.
I still don't understand how Google thinks it can draw the several hundred million users using facebook away from it.
Ummm, this is no different than FB. Only your name and gender is required to be public. If you didn't want that out there, why bother even creating a profile?

We believe that using Google Profiles to help people find and connect with you online is how the product is best used. Private profiles dont allow this, so we have decided to require all profiles to be public.
If you were going to use Google+ to share pictures and video with your family and wanted to be shut off from the rest of the world, you were not the target demographic

Knowing FB I can probably guess that they still don't actually delete anything, just permanently deactivate it.

Not even planning on making a Google+ account, but not being able to set your account on private sucks. I do not wish to reveal information about myself on the internet that is made public.
I felt like I needed Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. I don't have that feeling for Google+, perhaps in time.
At some point people will realize that Google has about a hundred times more info about you than STASI ever had on the people of Eastern Germany, but by that point it will be too late. If Apple is a religion then Google is the communism who tries to destroy religion.
