Google Social Network

Google has begun to show audited accounts in their social network, Google +. These accounts have a check mark next to the name and pass the cursor over it the message 'name verified'. For now, they are authenticating the accounts of public figures, celebrities and you have a large following.

Last month, Google indicated its intention to use the famous Google + to attract more users. It has now taken the first step to achieve this: the inclusion of audited accounts similar to Twitter. Thus, Google continues to add features + already present in other social networks, such as games.

For now you can not request verification of the accounts, but that it is the search engine decides which profiles are to be authenticated.
