A little while ago, Google revealed its intentions on getting more celebrities signed up for a Google+ account. Of course, there are a ton of people out there that will create a fake celebrity profile page just for fun. That’s why Google has started verifying accounts of celebrities, public figures and anyone else who is so popular, they are at risk of having fake pages created in their name.

Even though it’s still in its infancy, one of the things that makes Google+ stand out from Facebook and Twitter are the lack of brands on the network. Facebook is full of businesses that push updates to the News Feed by default. If you list Pawn Stars as a show you like on your profile, you had better believe you’ll be getting updates about it. Twitter is also believed to be working with businesses to automatically push tweets to Twitter feeds as a way to boost revenue. Google+ doesn’t have a way for businesses to interact with the public just yet.

HP and MySpace just announced that they’ve teamed up and the partnership will now be providing the ability to print on all user profiles on MySpace. Now, true, you could do this yourself before by going through steps of your own and saving things yourself and sending them to alternate programs to then print. But now, it’s just oh so much more simple.

Beginning in November, MySpace users will see a HP-branded button that says “Click to Print” all over the place, not just their photo album. It will be in their blog, comments, even the mail sections.

Plans are to extend this even further by selling personalized merchandise. The merchandise will have users’ photos on it. No details have been provided at this time as to exactly what kind of merchandise, but, expect the usual mugs, t-shirts, calendars, that sort of thing.

We all do embarrassing things when we are young, but at least for my generation they tended to stay in the past and away from the eyes of prospective employers, but for todays social networking generation I wonder how much of what seems like a good idea now may come back to haunt them in the future as more and more employers turn to social networking sites to find out more about potential employees.
