+Emmett Lollis Thanks… just listened to the video….. It's interesting I am verified… I know I used to be because I had done it long ago using the knoll service… It sure cannot be because I am famous… I think this should be rolled out to everyone.. I much rather follow people I know are real….
haha I was wondering why when I checked my profile it did not say verified, even though I was originally suspended for using my pen name "TIMzPoet" Google forced me to use my real common name "Tim Stone" of which there are thousands, I am the only "TIMzPoet" at least so far.
+Eric Wienke it would be a good solution…..or alternate solution…also adding a feature to only show verified names when suggesting new people etc would be a nice option.. pretty much would kill spammers… unless you just have no class whatsoever….
+Beau Kahler Lets start a petition to legitimize +Beau Kahler I know you are in more circles than me….
+Emmett Lollis Others using real names & rel="author" are not verified although I find that I am. Some names are probably easier to check than others. Not too many of me running around.
There are several Marvin Hayes's ! And a few are artists like myself ! Me and Marvin Hayes #2 have been fighting for Marvin Hayes superiority for years now ! ( google search status ) I owned the top for awhile then Marvin Hayes #2 got in my way and was at #1 ! So along comes "#3 Marvin Hayes" and gets between me and #2 ! I mean the nerve of #3 ! ;-O He's not even an artist ! he's a producer ! ;-/ So last time I checked I was #2 ! And #2 was #1 again ! Or was it #3 was #1 again ? ;-/ I guess we are all lucky that the rest of the Marvin Hayes's stay out of our way ! I'm thinking of forming a Marvin Hayes fan club ! Only Marvin Hayes's are allowed ! 😉
+Marvin Hayes hahaha – For only having 4 letters you'd be surprised how often people misspell it. People keep wanting to spell it like Goldie Hawn or Wrath of Khan or Han Solo.
I think I just made it up ! 😉 Mine is Hayes and everyone wants to use Hays 😉 People confuse my first name too always calling me Melvin or Martin ! ;-/ I hate the name "Marvin" but the others aren't an improvement ! 😉
Yah that's one of my nic names ! I have a 4 foot tall glow in the dark chain saw carving of a martian in the living room ! My cousin made it of me , I mean for me ! 😉 I was just joking with my brother talking about how many Marvin Hayes's there are ! I keep fighting with two others over top spot on google search for "Marvin Hayes " supremacy !! One artist like me,the other a producer ! There are several others that are artists also but they don't get in our way ! I'm thinking of forming a Marvin Hayes fan club ! Only Marvin Hayes's are allowed ! No Marvin Hay's allowed ! Strict rule ! 😉
Where's the picture of the glow in the dark Martian? And sounds more like a narcissistic (thank you spell checker) club if you're only letting in Marvin Hayes. 😛
It may sound narcissistic but it's just the opposite ! It's a total buzz kill to realize there are so many people that people get confused who's who ! 😉 I mean here I am comparing myself to the other Marvin Hayes's trying to figure out if I measure up to them ! ;-/ Pretty pathetic when one has to fight to be at the top of the list of ones own name ! 😉 One of them started using his middle initial ! I'm not sure if I have the Martian posted anywhere . I'll try to put it in my profile soon under my profile me images 😉
I couldn't find the "me" album. Do I have to be in the cool club to get access? I was happily lost in the macros, fractals and mandala sets though, I'll have to go through them again when I can look on a monitor instead of just cell phone.
Should be in your stream now . I couldn't figure out how to send just the one image so my ugly mug is in there too 😉 You'll just have to suffer through the other 3 ! 😉
Just today I believe.. I shared the Google post about it a little while ago.. It should be on my profile page.
I noticed that Lady Gaga didn't get one.. I've been suspicious of that account for a while.
i just noticed that myself.
Yeah, I just noticed a few minutes ago.
haha there are over 10 Lady Gaga accounts
I think mine says "certifiable" 😉

where is mine!?!?!? I am not LEGIT!!
I think I had verified mine with Google Buzz or Google Places or something.
I think they may be back-paddling on their pseudonym stance and verified names could be one of the ways to make that happen.
haha I was wondering why when I checked my profile it did not say verified, even though I was originally suspended for using my pen name "TIMzPoet" Google forced me to use my real common name "Tim Stone" of which there are thousands, I am the only "TIMzPoet" at least so far.

+Marvin Hayes thats a different chk…. 🙂
+Brent Burzycki I never used knoll. I did implement Google authorship on my main site though. It would be nice if they used that to verify my profile.
+Emmett Lollis Others using real names & rel="author" are not verified although I find that I am. Some names are probably easier to check than others. Not too many of me running around.
+Rick Bucich My first/last name combination seems to be extremely rare. It would certainly be nice if they could verify me.
I think there are less than 50 "Burzycki's" in the world.. so I know to verify me would be pretty easy…. and google knows me a bit too well anyway…..

Just to clarify – I am NOT the elizabeth hahn that gives business advice to strippers..
+elizabeth hahn So then you must be Jessica Hahn's sister !
+Marvin Hayes noooo! Not that one either. 🙂
+elizabeth hahn Sorry couldn't resist the irony ! 😉
Lol no problem, its been a few years since I have heard her name.
+elizabeth hahn Me either it just popped into my head ! 😉 Always loved that last name ! 😉
+Marvin Hayes hahaha – For only having 4 letters you'd be surprised how often people misspell it. People keep wanting to spell it like Goldie Hawn or Wrath of Khan or Han Solo.
I figured Hauhn or Haun ! 😉
oooo never seen a Hauhn, occasionally a Haun though.
I think I just made it up ! 😉 Mine is Hayes and everyone wants to use Hays 😉 People confuse my first name too always calling me Melvin or Martin ! ;-/ I hate the name "Marvin" but the others aren't an improvement ! 😉
Marvin the Martian is like the best Marvin ever…..
Hahah I keep thinking your name is Isaac. :). Ditto Marvin the Martian. :).
Yah that's one of my nic names ! I have a 4 foot tall glow in the dark chain saw carving of a martian in the living room !

Oh God ! I just found another Marvin Hayes here ! ;-O They followed me ! ;-O
Ok the Marvin the Martian is in my profile "Me!" album 😉
I couldn't find the "me" album. Do I have to be in the cool club to get access? I was happily lost in the macros, fractals and mandala sets though, I'll have to go through them again when I can look on a monitor instead of just cell phone.
