When did we start removing the little profile thumbnails from personal search results? I saw this a while back but just assumed I was in some latency experiment...
I've been telling sites that XFN and such are a way for them to "stand out in search" because of the profile photo annotations.
Should we be pushing harder for sites to adopt authorship? Also why are Don Dodge and Jeff Reine not showing up as authors in the results below? Weird....
Would appreciate any clarification.

And this applies to anything you author. For example, if you're an open source developer you should definitely link your github profile. Video and photo sites? Same thing.
Most sites are supporting XFN these days so the more links to your Google+ profile, the more often your face will show up next to your content.

Okay Googlers -- if you were unhappy that Events was a closed dogfood you have your chance to participate in the most open dogfood we've ever done.
Here's some simple things you can do:
- Are you using proper schema.org markup? Are your comments http://
- Do you have a user history for your service? Investigate if it's possible to send these moments to frame service. I can connect you with the right people.
- Do you request OAuth scopes for your api-based service? Consider using plus.moments.write to send us active and passive user activity.
Docs are below, feedback will be gladly taken (and I just might send you some Google+ schwag as a token of appreciation)

Help your friends find you! - another Google+ tip...
Add and verify all of your email addresses to your Google Account here:
This makes it easier for your friends to find you now and in the future! I've found that I don't know the gmail address of many people, but I do know their corp email or another alias. Plus if you lose your password you can send a recovery email to your alternate address.
Be aware that you can only associate one email per Google account and you can't add another gmail address to another account. If you want to associate email addresses to your primary account you can visit this page:
1) If the email is listed as a secondary address, remove it on the old account and add to the primary.
2) If the email is primary you can change the email address of the unused account and replace it with something like [email protected]. Then add the renamed email to the primary account.
Cheers.

Reaction from my family to the events spam:
_Your company is so fucking stupid sometimes... Why don't you turn off events until you fix your stupid problems._
Sadly I partially agree. If we still had the incoming stream we could easily put the stranger events there. I know that some fixes are in flight -- why are we not being more public about this? A simple Mea Culpa would do a lot here. Comms folks, what's up?
More quotes: _You look like a bunch of amateurs..._ and _why didn't you anticipate this?_

One of my favorite Google+ features is Instant Upload. All the pictures I take with my phone appear in a private album online, and from there I can share with my circles (or not). For me it's a great way to remember my favorite moments, and strike up the right conversations with just the right people.
More generally, we think this difference between saving and sharing is really important for communicating online. After all: not every thought that crosses your mind comes out of your mouth :-) Features like Instant Upload give you control over how you save and share your photos. And today -- with an early developer preview of Google+ history -- we're starting to bring this save/share capability to other online activities.
If you’re a developer, you can get started with today’s preview release by visiting . With just a few lines of code your app can privately save moments (like a listened song, or a visited restaurant) to a user's Google+ history, and from there users can share those moments with others. Think Instant Upload, but for almost anything! In all cases, moments in history include attribution of your app.
To help get the juices flowing, you as a developer will notice your YouTube, +1, Play app purchases, and Instant Upload activity in Google+ history (with Search and Latitude coming soon) -- all for your eyes only, of course.
We're hosting two Google I/O sessions (Thu, June 28 at 11:45am PT and 5:15pm PT) and a codelab (Fri, June 29 at 9am PT), so you can either stop by in person, or tune in with I/O Live. Android and iOS developers can also use the new Google+ platform for mobile -- attend our session (Thu, June 28 at 1:30pm PT) to learn more.

The best Electro-Rock band of the moment that's currently helping me burn the candle at both ends. Think Daft Punk crossed with Rage Against the Machine, with a dash of Introduce Yourself era Faith No More.
Their top-10 single is below, but you'll find the rest of their repertoire rocks much harder. Check out Palabra mi Amor for a taste:

I got to play with Google Music beta Paul Lindner, so you can add me. Oh, and when are y'all going to allow uploads from a Chromebook? hahahaha
On a related note, why is KEXP dragging their feet on joining g+? I think Kevin and John would have a blast in here.
Chromebook? I filed an internal bug for that.
Now if only I could file bugs against KEXP.
Fun Facts: Kevin Cole was a big-time DJ in Minneapolis when I lived there and one of my colleagues at Six Apart worked with Kevin on the first Amazon MP3 store.
Pardon if I'm dense, but where does the "free" come in? Is there a coupon code? Or a sekret link?
It is even easier than that Mark Hudson, there should be a Free and Purchased link in the left side panel of the Google Play music interface. Once you click that, it should pop up a window that asks you what genres you want free music from. Select the genres you like, and click Done. Your page should list all of the free music now in your library. Here are some screenshots I just took of the process.
GooglePlayFreeMusic | 114144561369449816821
there's a special 'shared with me' playlist. You get one free full play when someone shares their purchase to their network.
This link should work:

If you need me to go bash some heads, I am right across the pond from Seattle, and a supporter of the station. I can pounce on the staff at the next VIP club concert I get an invite for... he he he
I think they should Google App kexp.org, but that is just my opinion... They are a strictly uSoft house from what I hear.
Paul Lindner's answer is better than mine, Mark Hudson. His was for how to play shared music, and my reply was how to get daily downloads of music artists have offered up for free. I should re-read the original post more often... hahahaha
Steve Pirk -- not surprised about the microsoft connection, lots of Default.aspx going on there.
I'm hoping Youtube will do a live-stream with Bumbershoot like they did for Coachella/Bonnaroo. Maybe KEXP can get in on that action?
At the very least it would be cute to see Skrillex and Tony Bennet playing side-by-side on my monitor.
Hey, they are supported a lot by the Paul Allen Foundation... Nothing but default.aspx!
If you have any contact with the staff, tell them to hook up with me in g+. There is a kexp user, and a kexp plus page, but none of the staff names come up search that I can find. They have never posted or replied on either of the kexp pages ;-\
They use YouTube like crazy, comment on how much they love Google during pledge drives, but none of them use the other social tools in the Google toolbox... It's a shame, seriously. ;-]
I will put together a presentation on Apps, with a tie in to the Google Local stuff. It might help...
I will update you in a DM later.
Mark Hudson -- just shared an album with you (and my circles). Try it out!

Anyone want to help me complete my Shaka Ponk record collection? I can't get you into Google I/O, but I'd happily pay triple and send you all the Google schwag you can handle..
Is the problem just having a valide euro credit card? I'll gladly help you with that. It's ok if you can't get me into google i/o, but maybe we can still enjoy a beer/cocktail somewhere near
Thanks Yann, if you're around the 27th-29th we should get together. I'm rarely in SF these days.
Regarding my odd musical tastes- yes it's only available on iTunes France which requires an account with France billing address/card.
I've dusted out my old french itunes account and credit card and ready to go... There are 72 downloadable media. you just want the NRJ sessions right?
If google I/O is still at moscone it should be easy to meet. When did you move out of SOMA?
I/O is at Moscone again -- 27-29th. I'll know my schedule by late next week, so let's get together one of those evenings. It will be nice to catch up. We've obviously gotten out of touch since it's been about 4 years since I lived in SOMA. (I'm in the Oakland hills now)
And yes, NRJ sessions is all I need. For the most part I've been able to get my Musique de la France without problems via either Google Play or Amazon. Merci d'avance Yann!
