Profile of Zuckerberg was discovered on the newly launched social network last week (with a couple of obvious fake), but when the account seems authentic, it was not clear whether Facebook was the boss really try the products of its rivals. But Mark Zuckerberg has now confirmed to Tech blogger Robert Scoble that it's him on Google + - and expressed (not entirely unreasonable) perplexity that everyone believes this is remarkable.
Scoble wrote on Twitter: 'time to file name. Zuckerberg just texted me back. Said, "Why are people so surprised that I have a Google Account?"Zuckerberg is far from the only high-profile founder of social network to have an account on Google + - also said to be on service Twitter Evan Williams, Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn, Flickr co-founder Caterina Fake , and MySpace, Tom Anderson. Anderson - known everyone "friend" failure who joined MySpace was automatically connected to - even used Google + to share his thoughts on how Google + has the potential to fulfill his original vision for MySpace. (Once a powerful MySpace was sold by the owners of News Corp for $ 35 million last week, a fraction of the 580 million U.S. dollars it was purchased in 2005.)He writes: "It's really hard to layer social features after the fact ... But Google seems to be + really started to make good on [MySpace] original premise - that everything is better when it is social. And unlike FB, Twitter, or someone else, Google has all the most advanced products. "
