Google Even More Social - Direct Links To Social Neworking Sites & GStatic

Having just reinstated the old Archive I was wondering how Google has reacted to it so I whacked my name in (who hasn't) and noticed the 11th listing:

Yeh, furry muff my Google profile is there but then they allow you to search straight into the social networks - nice feature.

Just a shame it doesn't form part of the top ten listings as it would be a nice little extra feature for those that have to SEO client's names (for various reasons - they're always interesting).

Also the links on the profiles are non no-follow and the page doesn't have any no-index stuff.
and if you look at their robots.txt file you'll see:

Disallow: /profiles/me
Allow: /profiles

And even better is that they're actively trying to promote them:

Also check out their Gstatic.com domain and site maps & here.

got to be worth a play around for those that have a bit of time on their hands?

Whilst we're at it has anyone heard anything about Google Ventures?
