    Google: No Private Google+ Profiles for You!


    Privacy advocates have held Facebook's feet to the fire on several occasions over various privacy issues that have crept up since its inception, and if Google's to truly become a Facebook killer, the sultan of search would be wise not to follow in Zuckerberg's footsteps.

    All Google Profiles Will Be Public


    If you’re using a Google Profile - which describes anyone using the new Google+ social network - Google’s issuing an ultimatum: If you don’t make your profile public by July 31st, Google will delete it ...

Google is requiring that Google+ users be able to at least see that you exist on the network when doing searches. Oddly enough, Facebook still allows users to pull a more complete disappearing act through a judicious use of privacy settings.
