This doesn't ring true to me.
- msie 15y agoThis is a first hand account. Are you calling Vic a liar? :-)
- staunch 15y agoWouldn't be surprising if joshu knew him...and it certainly wouldn't be the first time someone exaggerated an anecdote about an interaction with a famous person.

- kubrickslair 15y agoNot commenting about something specific related to this post, but people are always riding coattails, consciously or subconsciously. Karma whoring, link baiting, name dropping- they may sound cruel, but almost all of us do that subconsciously, if not deliberately.
- statictype 15y agoWhat, about the story, feels wrong to you?
- ammmir 15y agogoogle plus has been known to terminate pseudonym accounts, so unless someone hacked into it, it seems to be genuine. a guy like vic is probably well connected, too, so it's quite plausible imho.
- wtallis 15y agoNot only have they been terminating accounts that don't use the owner's real name, they've started a "verified accounts" program, and the linked account has been verified.
- catch23 15y agoThe linked account also has 100k "followers" as well. I doubt a fake Vic account could amass that many considering there aren't that many on G+ yet. So the only other possibilities is that Vic is lying, or someone hacked into Vic's account, neither of which I think are true.
- sgk284 15y agoVic Gundotra is the Senior Vice President of Social at Google. This anecdote is straight from his mouth.
