I find Google's new policies surprising. Maybe "surprising" isn't the right word, but it's certainly a change in attitude that seems to ignore their own history. They started off by giving the web what it wanted and needed, a no-bullshit search service, adapting themselves to the web and profiting from it. Now they are trying to adapt the web to them, and I just don't see it going that way. Pseudonymity and the web go together, I really have my doubts in their their ability to remove it, influential as they are. Granted, Facebook may have changed people's attitudes towards pseudonymity, but I tend to think it's still something people fundamentally want.
