I think that the following can be derived from the plan to delete private profiles: - The upcoming Google social product will be launched in August 2011 or later. - Public profiles are a key element of the new social product. Google could ask users with private profiles to make them public, but people will scream about privacy. It's easier to remove the profiles from a PR perspective.
