Google Deleting Private Profiles

An anonymous reader writes "Google announced that it will no longer support private Google Profiles after July 31. The move comes as Google is rolling out its latest social experiment, Google+. Those who have already been admitted to Google+ will see their Google+ profiles replace their Google Profiles. At the moment the only information Google requires users to reveal is their name and gender."

The only mandatory information in the public profile is name and age

Thereby ensuring that a large percentage of sign ups lie about one, or both.
