Google Releases Tool to Fuse Multiple Google+ Accounts

Not unlike Agent Smith from the Matrix, there are some users of social networks who pride themselves on developing multiple accounts - multiple versions of their own persona each with their own social connections and friend lists. In some cases, as time passes, the burden of the multi-faced Brahma becomes too much, and one wants to unite the accounts into one. Well, they have an app for that. In a recent Google+ post by Ronald Ho, Google has announced that you can now transfer your Google+ connections from one account to another using Google Takeout.

Not unlike Agent Smith from the Matrix, there are some users of social networks who pride themselves on developing multiple accounts – multiple versions of their own persona each with their own social connections and friend lists. In some cases, as time passes, the burden of the multi-faced Brahma becomes too much, and one wants to unite the accounts into one.

Well, they have an app for that. In a recent Google+ post by Ronald Ho, Google has announced that you can now transfer your Google+ connections from one account to another using Google Takeout.

The tool works by funneling your other accounts into your main account: all your friends, information and blocking settings are sucked from a ‘source’ profile into a ‘destination’ profile of your choice.
