Google Wants to Own Your Identity

Eric Schmidt didn't surprise many journalists with his prepared remarks at Friday's MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh International Television Festival. But Schmidt certainly turned some bloggers heads with what he said off-the-cuff about Google's future plans for their new social network. NPR's Andy Carvin asked Schmidt about Google+'s real name policy and reported back (via Google+ appropriately) that Schmidt "replied by saying that G+ was built primarily as an identity service, so fundamentally, it depends on people using their real names if they're going to build future products that leverage that information."
