The Big Company is designing up a "celebrity acquisition plan" to help publicize Google+.
Google is beginning to devise a system that would verify the identities of public figures who sign up for the service, said Brett Schulte, a Hollywood consultant and organizer of social-media gatherings called Tweet House.
According to Hollywood consultant Brett Schulte, Google is “very interested in having celebrities”, and is currently looking at several different methods for the verification process. The plan is unconfirmed by Google, but the company recently told brands and businesses not to create Google+ profiles just yet, as it works on a better experience for them.
Twitter, for example, displays a special badge on verified profiles. Facebook doesn’t specifically indicate verified profiles, but it does remove fake profiles on user request.
More likely, Google will arrange a list of the top talent agents and consultants who would be able to file requests directly, Schulte said. "They seemed to be very interested in having celebrities," he said.
