Google has now decided to delete all private profiles after 31/july/2011. Google has requested all private profile to make it public, or delete their profile. Else, Google will start deleting all private profiles after 31/july/2011
This step is because of launch of Google social networking service Google Plus. Google wants all profile to be public and use their Google plus service.
According to Google:
The purpose of Google Profiles is to enable you to manage your online identity. Today, nearly all Google Profiles are public. We believe that using Google Profiles to help people find and connect with you online is how the product is best used. Private profiles don’t allow this, so we have decided to require all profiles to be public.
Keep in mind that your full name and gender are the only required information that will be displayed on your profile; you’ll be able to edit or remove any other information that you don’t want to share.
If you currently have a private profile but you do not wish to make your profile public, you can delete your profile. Or, you can simply do nothing. All private profiles will be deleted after July 31, 2011.
Is the profile set to public by default. They should just restrict the ability to make your profile private.
Cool stuff man!
