Google Plus now minus Zuckerberg?

There are conflicting reports about whether Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is on Google Plus – there are now three people claiming to be him on the site.

WILL THE REAL Mark Zuckerberg please stand up?

The mystery of whether the Facebook founder is on Google Plus is still going, with one blog claiming that he has left the site altogether.

But a quick search reveals three people all claiming to be Zuckerberg.

One of the accounts is the same one that TheJournal.ie reported was supposed to be Zuckerberg, but this time with a new photo.

While one certainly has a lot more information about the young billionaire, and the third has even got a few odd photos on it, it’s hard to know whether they’re fakes or the real thing.

It was reported that the social networking site founder joined the Google Plus site at the end of June, but some believed it was unlikely the entrepreneur had really joined the trial service.

Now it is being reported by The Inquirer that the real Zuckerberg has closed off his account – and that a friend of his wrote on Twitter that the Harvard graduate had texted him to confirm that he had the account.

One thing is for sure though – all three ‘Mark Zuckerbergs’ take a leaf out of the real man’s book and aren’t giving too much about themselves away.

    It beats “what colour shoes Kate was wearing in Canada” Which seems to be keeping the rest of the news organisations going

    The guy is a dysfunctional gobshite. It seems being a paper billionaire makes him newsworthy. Yawn :(.
