Clearly this is a big incentive to sign up for a Google profile, and adds a bit of competition for all the ego-surfers out there.

You know what I see? Google trying to get their fingers into the Social Media market. And just think, what if they cut juice off from all the popular profiles and left it on for Google profiles? Nah, they surely wouldn't do that.

I see some "double standards" issues arising when certain SM sites pass equity and others don't. Hey, I'm an avid supporter of Google Search, but they missed that Social Media Ship and it might be a little too late to join the party.

I know its tough Google, seeing all the stories about Twitter lately and very little Google. Or at least that is how it seems. Twitter this, Twitter that, FB this, FB that. Everyone is talking about Social Media and poor Google is left standing there with Search, what do we do now? I think this is the year that Search changes face 180 degrees. Big shakeups before the end of 2009. That's my prediction. It's almost a given in the current economy. :(
