G Very Slow in Updating Name and Photo in SERPs

Google Plus is very slow in updating name and author photo for search results.

Few days before i updated my author photo and name on G+, that time new photo was updated after few hours but name is still pending (approx 7 days).

Today also i update my photo only but still waiting its reflection in search results.

If you updated BOTH your name and photo at nearly the same time, I'm mot surprised that the update didn't show in the SERPs within 7 days. In the beginning, it took weeks for the initial photos to begin to show up at all.

Given what we think Google plans for authorship mark-up - the kind of dependence on it in the SERPs and so on - I can imagine that changes might take a good bit of checking out.

Interesting to know. I'd always assumed it was dynamic. That's if I read the OP correctly: the content of the author's profile page has changed, but the author's identity as given on the www page (the link to that long string of numbers with "rel=author") is still the same.

I detoured here to check. You can edit the "name" box in your profile just as easily as anything else. In google's mind, you're a number with attached name, not the other way around.
