By the way, what's with the fugly Google+ URL's? Don't you agree they should make the URL's a lot nicer? There is no vanity URL either, which I'm sure quite a lot of people would like. Google has never seemed to get this. You should look at Google Sites url's. It's like 5 words in there before you even see your site's name. I wish they made them a bit more elegant and streamlined.

agreed, totally and utterly. human readable urls are such a "tend" accepted wisdom, that i find it hard to believe it wouldn't be implemented

At first, I was skeptical. But if you look at the people that he has in his circles, it starts to look more and more legit (Blake Ross from Mozilla, Pedram Keyani from Facebook, Sam Lessin from Drop.io, now owned by FB, etc.)

In this case, I'm gonna go with "yes, this is actually him".

Interestingly, the old Google Profiles did do this, my URL was https://profiles.google.com/corin.c.cole

I would imagine it will come to plus some time in the near future.
