[quote=Anonymous]Hi Jeff,

I learned something about the +1 button today, experimentally, that I thought I'd share to help you make a decision about whether to keep it or not. In the interest of full disclosure, I'm against it, but was planning on simply avoiding it if it stays.

I have a google profile with my personal gmail account and can clearly see that when I hover over the +1, I see the name that I use for my personal gmail account and only google profile. Just as I would expect and as you spell out upthread.

But, my work uses google apps for our work email. Recently, google announced that you couldn't be logged into a google app at the same time you were logged into your personal proflie (used to be I could be logged into work gmail and personal gmail at the same time, in different tabs). Now, google makes you log out and log in and the accounts are linked. I hope this makes sense.

Tonight, I was logged into my work email (and I don't have a google profile under this name) and when I hovered over the +1, my work email name (in other words, my full name) showed up in the call out. This makes me concerned because while I might not mind if I mistaken hit it and you all found out my name is Karen, I would be fairly upset if you know my name was Karen Wollstengroft.

(BTW, my name is not Karen Wollstengroft.)

Thanks, and thanks for the work you do to make this an interesting place, even though you can't make all the people happy all the time.
