that is almost exactly how Google+ has worked for some time now. Your actual identity (real name required) was your main profile, and you can set up as many pages as you like with whatever pseudonyms you want. A page functions as a Google+ identity that can follow other people or pages and can be added to other peoples' or pages' circles, so each pseudonym has a totally distinct set of circles. It's actually a pretty clever system, but the UI and language makes it somewhat unclear what do do with it all.
- pawelk 12y agoYeah, it's a UX problem. The feature is right there, but had they renamed "Pages" to "Identities" it would possibly get some traction.
- e12e 12y ago> the UI and language makes it somewhat unclear what do do with it all. That's quite an understatement. The other aspect, is the lack of transparency Google has when making policy and product changes. Like suddenly trying to change app reviews and youtube comments from a pseudonymous to a real-name activity. Without any confidence in their service and policy stewardship, it's hard to trust them not to change this stuff randomly too.
