>Then why does G+ allow you to have quotes in your name?

Because it's still in beta.

No it isn't.

Yeah it kind of is. Google has a lot of resources. I still don't know if their strategy of long running public betas is marketing or a true inability to start with something much better then a beta version.

If it's marketing this, quotes in your name stuff, is not funny.

If it's a true inability to iterate and scale without a public beta, well they are not a start-up, it is kind of absurd.

They went from a few thousand to 10 Million users in about 30 days.

Of course there are going to be little hickups like this. The problem is already fixed. How is that absurd?
