Who is this guy now? I keep seeing announcement posted on Google Plus by people speaking for Google, but they never bother to mention as much as their function or position within Google.
They ought to start of with "Hi I'm XYZ, lead PQR coordinator of Google ABC." or something.
At least this time it says "google" if you mouseover his photo, the last one didn't even that.
What do I do at Google? I help webmasters build better websites, so you'll see me talking to webmasters on our and other forums, writing blog posts, saying things like "I'll ask internally" and the like."
"I work at Google as a Webmaster Trends Analyst. This is my personal profile."
Security wise a bad idea. For example email of a actual company employee (at a company that offers email) might normally might be name@corp.yahoo.com or name@corp.google.com not name@yahoo.com etc.
By posting in this manner nothing to prevent someone from posting the wrong information.
I'm the author of the post. Your concern is valid and it's one of the reasons the Google+ account is verified.
Also, there is plenty of evidence that it's a real Googler's account. For example, when I blog on our official Webmaster Central blog, I link to this Google+ profile; for example the most recent post: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/01/better-pa...
