Google’s confusing profiles

Published by under Internet and tagged: , , ,

The Google Operating System blog have posted about the new Google profiles that are being implemented. I edited my profile a couple of weeks ago when I was creating a custom map on Google Maps. I didn’t really see any significance in this at the time as I thought it was just tied into the Maps service.

But it appears to be getting integrated into a few more Google services now such as Google Reader. I’m still not sure what’s planned for the profiles but here’s the publicly accessible link to mine: http://www.google.com/s2/sharing/stuff?user=111714085513520620955.

The weird thing is that my public profile doesn’t have any of my shared Reader items or my custom Google maps. Perhaps that’s just teething problems, as I can’t seem to find anything to make that stuff appear in the profile automatically.

The profile widgets can be embedded into web pages, and here’s how mine looks for the time being:

Anyway, tracking this with interest…
