This is true, actually. Pages seem to act exactly like regular user profiles other than the intention to have an associated brand instead of an associated person, and Google+ engineers have been posting that anyone can create a page (it just might not get the "confirmed name" checkbox by its name). So you could effectively set up a page with whatever name you want and use that as your pseudonymous profile on G+.



That won't work, because Pages can't add people to their circles until they've added the page. It'd be pretty hard to maintain a social network that way.


Ah, ok, I was wrong about pages working exactly the same way as user pages then, whoops.
