Google Profiles Has a New Interface

Looks a lot better organized, but also a lot like facebook. Not that that's a bad thing, the facebook profile page has clearly been successful.

Er... there is http://www.google.com/profiles/iworkforthem#buzz and there is also https://profiles.google.com/iworkforthem/about

So there are 2 profile pages now?

About time. Let's see what happens when Google finally starts taking social serious.

Now where's my Google social graph?

Right here http://code.google.com/apis/socialgraph/

I mean my social graph. The one that's easy to use and immediately useful to me :)

I mean the one that is useful to me, that has, as pg would say, "a quantum of usefulness" :)

Google treats the social graph as an engineering challenge, but they've never understood that it can actually be useful for stuff.

And the link you posted isn't a social graph, it's a list of accounts connected to my account. Nothing social about it.

Doesn't work in the latest Chrome dev channel. Ironical?

No errors in the console. You just get a blank page.

> Another change is that you can now hide the Google Buzz tab from your profile.

Slowly admitting that Google Buzz was a complete failure...

I still like it. Works for me and my small group of friends and family and I can manage who I share stuff with better than broadcasting everything over twitter. I hope they keep it around.

A lot more people use Google Buzz exclusively than you would think.

looks like new facebook profile pages, especially the top part.
