Google+ mentions make their way to Blogger

Now, Blogger users can put a "+" before a person's name, and have a link to their Google+ profile automatically included in their post.

Google's Blogger platform now comes with a way for writers to link to a friend or company's Google+ page.

When typing out a post in Blogger, users can now input a "+" before a person's or brand's name. Upon choosing the right profile, a link will be displayed in the published post, allowing readers to go to the subject's Google+ page or profile. Hovering the mouse over the link displays a card showing a profile picture and a little more information on the person or brand.

We remember you fondly. Maybe I’ll watch Cosmos again. Or better yet, re-read The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, in my opinion his best book, and I read many of them.
