Another thing that you can’t have if you don’t have a Google Plus account

Are you feeling left out yet, not having a Google Plus account? Well firstly I read an article that says that Google Plus will be available for everybody on or before July 31. But until then you can only read about the cool things that everyone else has.
Google has released it’s project without Vanity Urls. Now Facebook did that too, but we all now expect Vanity Urls. Look at this url for an example https://plus.google.com/104560124403688998123/posts, this is Mark Zuckerberg’s Google Plus Address. Now that would be difficult to remember if you were to quote it to someone or if you wanted it on your business card.
So a clever person has released Google Plus Nick.
It is basically a Url Shortner that points a url to your Google Plus account. There is no intelligence here and I think that maybe they released the product too quickly. You can register your ID with them but you cannot change your Nick Name and if someone else registered your ID, then you can’t use this.
But anyway, very cool little thing. It always amazes me that people can come up with something like this so quickly.
