Circle s appr in Google srch



If you’re an author and decided to takethe markup stepsthat Google+ announced a while back, your Google+ follower s are showing up next to your profile in Google srch results.In June, Google explained the new markup language this way:We now support markup that enables websites to publicly link within their site from content to author pages. For example, if an author at The New York Times has written dozens of articles, using this markup, the webmaster can connect these articles with a New York Times author page. An author page describes and identifies the author, and can include things like the author’s bio, photo, articles and other links.A source confirmed that the next step of that fture, actually showing the of Circles you’re in on Google+ in Google srch results has been turned on.The results look something like this, so if you’re srching for people or content on Google, you may spot this in the wild:If you’d like to add this information to your site or blog to have the of Circles you’re in to show up in results too, Google has set up ahelp center arto give you a hand.While this is grt for authors, we think that most Google+ users would want to turn this on for themselves, so hopefully Google makes that a fture for all soon, without having to do any coding on a website.Would you even want this information to appr in Google srch results or would it creep you out? Let us know in the comments.
