William Shatner, rejoice! Earlier today, Wen-AI Yu from Google + announced with a post on Google + YouTube video and accompanying social network now boasts a "validation icons for celebrities, public figures, but also people who have been added (undefined)" large "number of laps, with the promise to expand proven profile system in the near future.

This is in accordance with the previous report from CNN, mark Milian, who caught wind of Google "celebrity acquisition plan" a month ago.

Icons are mainly Grey check Twitter type, say "check name" when you hover over them (see screenshot of my profile-I seem to have been added to the Google enough to contribute to the list of community +). People who do not yet have a profile verification "hang tight", Yu said.

Things that are obvious:

Both celebrities and public figures requested by Google to verify their identity, while CNN report states that one of the options discussed in Google + commands while participation please fax a copy of the celebrity of his or her driver's license.

-Exactly how many laps on should be added should be, and why, it seems that some users loud fell though the cracks. It doesn't make any sense to me to skip verification, but no such people as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (it is the most followed person on Google, ironically) and entrepreneur celebrities as Kevin Rose and Tom Anderson.

-If there is a dedicated page on the list of all verified profiles (or at least those celebrities and public figures) so people can find more people to follow, especially when they are new to Google +

According to a Tweet from Louis gray, who had just been hired as Google + evangelist, there are no plans to create a list of "default" (aka user proposed) based on what profiles are checked by Google + and who are not. He says, "give me a few days though.

If you are interested in such a list now, my advice is to check this Web site.

In the meantime, the debate about policy, real name on Google + rages on. Join the social network require real name and gender information, and Google has suspended the accounts because he believes that users have used an alias.

In these days when Google finds that profile name does not stick to its policy, users receive a 4-day period to change it before they get downloaded from social network.

Power user this morning Robert Scoble has written an open letter to Google's Vic Gundotra and published it on their Google profile + to download – providing a few proposals for changes to the actual name of the policy that Scoble said not executed correctly or properly and causing a distraction.
