Ford Gets Account Knocked Off Google Plus

July 24, 2011

Looks like Ford is (along with Sesame Street!) suffering the pains of early adoption of Google's popular new social network offering. SearchEngineLand's Matt McGee reported on 21 July that "the Google Plus pages for Mashable, Ford and Sesame Street are all gone" for violating Google's initial terms of service (which dictated that the Google+ accounts were only to be used by individuals, not brands).

Update 23 July: Ford's +Google account seems to have been restored -- see here.
