Amid rumors of Google+ traffic plunging down, it seems like the internet search engine giant is now ready to let go of some of its rules.
During the initial days, the company had generated much uproar, when it started to kick out the users with pseudonyms. The company had even gone far enough to deny all the Google services to such offenders. This simply meant that if a user was caught using fake name for their Google+ profile, they not only risked getting kicked off the social networking site, but also ran the risk of losing their Gmail and other Goggle service privileges.
However, now Google has confirmed that it will be providing pseudonym feature on its social networking site pretty 'soon'. In order to expand its reach to businesses, the site is likely to support Brand pages as well. However, Google did not give any timeline, so there is no way to know how long we will have to wait for these new features.
While Google may have had noble intentions behind imposing the 'real name' policy, but its method of imposing the rule was nothing but 'heavy handed'. The company basically told its users to either follow the rules or to stop using it. You would have thought that after so many years, Google might have learnt its lesson, but that wasn't the case. However, luckily enough, the company regained its senses when its latest social networking venture seemed to be on its way to meet the fate of its earlier ventures like Buzz and Orkut. So, would you be more willing to 'Hangout' at Google+, once it removes its draconian 'real name' policy?
